Each tire pressure is shown in PSI
(U.S. models) or in kPa (Canadian
models).
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). See page 196 for ignition
switch and power mode comparison.
Each tire has its own pressure
sensor. If the air pressure of a tire
becomes significantly low, the sensor
in that tire immediately sends a
signal that causes the low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator in the
instrument panel to come on. If this
happens, you will see which tire is
losing pressure on the multi-
information display along with a
‘‘CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ’’
message.
If any of the tires has low pressure,
the tire pressure monitor also shows
the above message and each tire
pressure to warn you about the low
tire pressure when you select the
display by pressing the INFO button
several times.
