What to do in an emergency
12
6
If either telltale illuminates, immedi-
ately reduce your speed, avoid hard
cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances. You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle’splacard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center pil-
lar outer panel. If you cannot reach a
service station or if the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure tire with a spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10
minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replaceing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below willhappen:
The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-ously illuminated because theTPMS sensor is not mounted onthe spare wheel.
✽✽ NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure sensor.
WARNING - Low
pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure
makes the vehicle unstable and
can contribute to loss of vehicle
control and increased brakingdistances.
Continued driving on low pres- sure tires can cause the tires to
overheat and fail.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the low tire pressure telltale mayilluminate if the tire pressurewas adjusted to the recom-mended tire inflation pressure in warm weather. It does notmean your TPMS is malfunc-tioning because the decreasedtemperature leads to a lower- ing of tire pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a warm area to a coldarea or from a cold area to awarm area, or the outside tem- perature is higher or lower,you should check the tireinflation pressure and adjust the tires to the recommendedtire inflation pressure.
The tire pressure may vary depending on various factorsincluding the temperature con- ditions of parking area, drivingconditions and ambient tem-perature, altitude above sea level.

The low tire pressure position telltale warning may illuminatewhen the tire pressure issame or higher than nearby tires. This is normal since thetire pressure changes alongwith the Internal temperature of each tire.
The tire pressure displayed on the instrument panel may bedifferent from the tire pres-sure measured by a tire pres- sure gauge.
