If you replace a flat tire with the spare tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator
comes on while you are driving. After dr iving for a few miles (kilometers), the
indicator will start blinking for a short time and then stay on. Tire Pressure
Monitor Problem appears on the multi-informatio n display, but this is normal.
If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the
multi-information display and the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will go off after
a few miles (kilometers).
■TPMS with Tire Fill Assist and the Compact Spare Tire1 TPMS with Tire Fill Assist and the Compact Spare Tire
The system cannot monitor th e pressure of the spare
tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure

safe place.

To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, move the shift lever to

comes to a complete stop.
Then press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake
pedal.
