When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System*
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all\
four tires. If
the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster \
and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the specified
tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure\
and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-126.
The warning light flashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-21.

When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
 The size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specification. The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire
wear is excessively different between them. A run-flat tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used. An emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may flash
and then continue illuminating). A tire is repaired using the emergency flat tire repair kit. The tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tire pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving. The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including wh\
en the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes. The vehicle is driven on an extr emely rough road or a slippery, icy road. Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road. Load on the vehicle is applied to a tir e such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle. System initialization has not been implemented with the specifie d tire pressure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.
 A tire pressure is adjusted. Tire rotation is performed. A tire or wheel is replaced. The battery is replaced or completely
drained. The tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and firmly
apply the parking brake.
2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).
Refer to Tires on page 9-10.
3. Switch the ignition ON.
4. Press and hold the tire pressure
monitoring system set switch and
verify that the tire pressure monitoring
system warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes twice and a beep sound
is heard once.
CAUTION
If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tire pressure,
the system cannot detect the normal
tire pressure and it may not illuminate
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light even if a tire pressure is
low, or it may illuminate the light even
if the pressures are normal.
Adjust the tire pressure on all four
tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason
other than a flat tire, the tire pressure
of all four tires may have decreased
naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

not running.
 Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
 Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air. The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffic jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting. If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the climate control system.
(With A/C switch)
 Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
