CAMRY_U (OM33A86U)■
When a tire is replaced with a spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
The compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, 
the tire pressure warning light will not
turn off even though the flat tire has been replaced with the spare tire.

pressure. The tire pressu re warning light will go off after a few minutes.
