anced.
D
Initialization was not performed correct-
ly after replacing or rotating tires or
wheels.
D
The outside temperature is below 0 _ C
(32 _ F) or above 40 _ C (104 _ F).
CAUTION
When the tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:
D
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to
the specified level as soon as pos-
sible.
D
Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. If the vehicle
tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the
brakes, causing death or serious in-
jury.
Note: The tire pressure monitoring
system on your vehicle will warn you
when one of your tires is significantly
under − inflated and when some com-
binations of your tires are significant-
ly under − inflated. However, there are
other combinations of significantly
under
− inflated tires for which your
tire pressure monitoring system may
not warn you. These other combina-
tions are relatively common, account-
ing for approximately half the
instances in which vehicles have sig-
nificantly under
− inflated tires. For ex-
ample, your system may not warn you
when both tires on the same side or
on the same axle of your vehicle are
significantly under − inflated. It is par-
ticularly important, therefore, for you
to check the tire pressure in all of
your tires regularly and maintain
proper pressure.
