Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/ flashing of
the TPMS warning light is dangerous
because a tire may burst which could
lead to an accident. Take appropriate
measures as soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a
tire position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for
the tire positions may be di fferent from
the actual tire pressures at the tire
positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressures to the
appropriate pressures.
Refer to Tire In flation Pressure on page
6-23.
CAUTION
 Adjust the tire pressures while the
tires are cool. Because the air
pressure in the tires fluctuates
depending on the temperature,
before adjusting the tire pressures,
let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive
it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile)
distance. If the tire pressures are
adjusted while the tires are warm,
the tire pressures may decrease
below the specified air pressure after
cooling down which could turn on
the warning light. In addition,
because the air pressure in the tires
decreases when the ambient
temperature is low, if the ambient
temperature increases, an
illuminated TPMS warning light may
turn o ff. Under any circumstances,
always adjust the tire pressures while
the tires are cool.
 After adjusting the tire pressures, the
TPMS warning light turns o ff. If the
TPMS warning light does not turn off,
drive the vehicle at a speed of about
25 km (16 mph) or faster for 3
minutes or longer and make sure the
warning light turns off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on
even after adjusting the tire pressures,
one of the tires may have a puncture.
