While the position of each tire is being

determined and the inflation pressures

are not being displayed on the

multi-information display, if the inflation

pressure of a tire drops, the tire pressure

warning light will come on.

If the tire pressure warning system is not

initialized properly

In the following situations, initialization

may take longer than usual to be com-

pleted or may not be possible. (Usually,

the vehicle will need to be driven for

approximately 10 to 30 minutes to com-

plete initialization.) If initialization is not

complete after driving approximately 30

minutes, continue driving for a while.

• If the vehicle is driven on an unpaved

road, it may take longer to complete ini-

tialization.

• If the vehicle is backed up while perform-

ing initialization, data collected during ini-

tialization will be cleared and it will take

longer than normal to complete.

• If the vehicle is driven in heavy traffic or

another situation where other vehicles

are driven close by, it may take time for

the system to recognize the tire pressure

warning valve and transmitters of your

vehicle over those of other vehicles.

If initialization is not complete after driving

for approximately 1 hour, park the vehicle in

a safe place for approximately 20 minutes

and then drive the vehicle again.

In the following situations, initialization

will not be started or was not completed

Always use a tire pressure gauge.

It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly

inflated based only on its appearance.

It is normal for the tire inflation pressure

to be higher after driving as heat is gen-

erated in the tire. Do not reduce tire infla-

tion pressure after driving.

Never exceed the vehicle capacity

weight.

Passengers and luggage weight should

be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.

When replacing wheels, care should
be taken to ensure that they are equiv-

When replacing wheels

The wheels of your vehicle are equipped

with tire pressure warning valves and trans-

mitters that allow the tire pressure warning

system to provide advance warning in the

event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.

Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire

pressure warning valves and transmitters

must be installed. (

P.430)

WARNING

Proper inflation is critical to save tire

performance

Keep your tires properly inflated.

If the tires are not properly inflated, the

following conditions may occur which

could lead to an accident resulting in

death or serious injury:

Excessive wear

Uneven wear

Poor handling

Possibility of blowouts resulting from

overheated tires

Air leaking from between tire and

wheel

Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-

age

Greater possibility of tire damage

while driving (due to road hazards,

expansion joints, sharp edges in the

road, etc.)

NOTICE

When inspecting and adjusting tire

inflation pressure

Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.

If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or mois-

ture may get into the valve and cause an

air leak, resulting in decreased tire infla-

tion pressure.

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily
corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.
