able to monitor the tire pressure due to

the presence of several wheel sensors
in the vehicle.

TIRE PRES. MONITOR
REACTIVATED
The tire pressure monitor is using the current
pressure values as the basis for monitoring.
TIRE PRES. MONITOR
CURRENTLY
UNAVAILABLE
The tire pressure monitor is temporarily inop-
erative because:

an additional wheel sensor is in the vehi-
cle


the maximum temperature of the wheel
sensor has been exceeded


a radio source is causing interference


unrecognized wheel sensors have been
installed

Remove any additional wheel sensors
from the vehicle
As soon as the causes of the malfunction
have been removed, the tire inflation
pressure monitor automatically becomes
active again.
