NOTE:
• For a certain type of instrument cluster
only, the information display shows the
above warning and indicator message
when this light comes on.
• When the tyre pressure is adjusted in
high altitude areas, the low tyre pressure
warning light may not turn off even after
tyre pressure adjustment. In this case,
adjust the inflation pressure to a slightly
higher pressure than the one shown on
the tyre information placard.
• The low tyre pressure warning light may
turn off temporarily after coming on. This
could be due to increase of surface tem-
perature after long distance driving or
traveling to a high temperature area.
Even if the low tyre pressure warning
light turns off after coming on, check the
inflation pressure of all tyres.
• To reduce the chance that the low tyre
pressure warning light will come on due
to normal changes in temperature and
atmospheric pressure, it is important to
check and adjust the tyre pressures
when the tyres are cold. If you check
tyres after driving, they are warm. Even if
the tyre pressure seems to be good in
this condition, it could fall below the
specified pressure when tyres cool
down. Also, if tyres are inflated to the
specified pressure in a warm garage, the
tyre pressure could fall below the speci-
fied one when you drive the vehicle out-
side in very cold temperature. If you
adjust the tyre pressure in a garage that
is warmer than the outside temperature,
you should add 1 kPa to the recom-
mended cold tyre pressure for every
0.8°C difference between garage tem-
perature and outside temperature.
TPMS malfunction indicator
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tyre pressure warning
light. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the low tyre pressure warning light will
flash for about 75 seconds and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is not
reset even after the engine is turned off; it
remains in the ON state until the normal
conditions are restored.
When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the low tyre pressure warn-
ing light after replacing one or more tyres
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure the
replacement or alternation of tyres and
wheels to allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
