When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
     
The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the speci
fi
cation.
     
The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire
wear is excessively different between them.
     
A run-
fl
at tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.
     
An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may
fl
ash
and then continue illuminating).
     
A tire is repaired using the emergency
fl
at tire repair kit.
     
The tire pressure is excessively higher than the speci
fi
ed pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
     
The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
     
The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
     
Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
     
Load on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
     
System initialization has not been implemented with the speci
fi
ed tire pressure.
