When the telltale lights up

A: Low tyre pressure

Condition(s)

  • One or more of the tyres is significantly under-inflated.

Operation

  • The corresponding position light will light up to indicate which tyre is significantly under-inflated.

  • Reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering, and anticipate increased stopping distances.

  • Stop and check the tyres as soon as possible.

  • Inflate the tyres to the specified pressure.

  • Replace the underinflated tyre with a spare tyre if this is not possible.

  • If you drive the vehicle for about 10 minutes at speeds above 35 km/h after replacing the low pressure tyre with the spare tyre, one of the following will happen:

    • The TPMS malfunction indicator may blink for approximately 1 minute and then remain continuously appeared because the TPMS sensor is not mounted on the spare wheel. (changed tyre equipped with a sensor not in the vehicle)

    • The TPMS malfunction indicator will remain continuously appeared whilst driving because the TPMS sensor is not mounted on the spare wheel. (changed tyre equipped with a sensor in the vehicle)
