pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
 If the tire pressure drops below a
predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light.

pressure display function, the tire
pressure detected by the tire pres-
sure warning system can be dis-
played on the multi-information
display.
