Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Reset Procedure
Overview
You must carry out the system reset
procedure after each tire replacement or
adjustment of the tire pressures.
To maintain your vehicle load carrying
capability, your vehicle requires different
tire pressures in the front tires compared
to the rear tires.
The system illuminates the warning lamp
at different pressures for the front and rear
tires.
The tires need to be periodically rotated
to provide consistent performance and
maximum tire life, the system needs to
know when the tires have been rotated to
determine which set of tires are on the
front and rear axles. With this information,
the system can detect and correctly warn
of low tire pressures.
Carrying Out the System Reset
Procedure
Switch the ignition on. Using the
information display control select:

Tire Monitor
How Temperature Affects the Tire
Pressures
Under normal driving conditions tire
pressures may increase by up to 4 psi
(0.3 bar) from a cold start situation.
If the vehicle is stationary overnight and
the temperature significantly lower than
the daytime temperature, tire pressures
may decrease by up to 3 psi (0.2 bar) when
there is a drop in the ambient temperature
of 63°F (17°C) or more. The system
detects this pressure decrease as being
significantly below the correct inflation
pressure and the warning lamp illuminates.
When Inflating the Tires
When inflating the tires the system may
not respond immediately to the air added
to the tires.
If the Warning Lamp is On:
1.
Check each tire to verify that none are
flat.
2. If one or more tires are flat, repair as
necessary.
3. Check the tire pressures and inflate all
the tires to the correct pressure.
4. Carry out the tire pressure monitoring
system reset procedure.
