indicator comes on while you are driving. A fter driving for a few miles (kilometers),
Tire Pressure Monitor Problem will appear on the multi-information display and
the indicator will start blinki ng for a short time and then stay on; however, this is
normal and is no cause for concern.
If you replace the tire with a full-size tire, the warning message on the multi-
information display and the low tire pressu re/TPMS indicator will go off after a few
miles (kilometers).

safe place.

stop.
Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
