uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires.

■TPMS Calibration1 TPMS Calibration
•TPMS cannot be calibrated if a compact spare tire is 
installed.
•The calibration process  requires approximately 30 
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between 
30-65 mph (48-105 km/h).
•During calibration, if the ignition is turned off then 
on again, and the vehicle is not moved within 45 
seconds, the low tire pres sure indicator may come 
on briefly. This is norma l and indicates that the 
calibration process is  not yet complete.
If the snow chains are installed, remove them before 
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even 
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are 
installed, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the 
same brand, model, and size  as the originals. Ask a 
dealer for details.
