When resetting TPMS, the current tire pressure is stored as a standard tire pressure.

CAUTION
  • Without inflating the tires, if you reset TPMS, the system may not inform you properly even though the tires are significantly under-inflated. You must check the proper tire pressure before resetting TPMS.

  • The TPMS may not function properly if you do not reset TPMS although the TPMS needs to be reset.

  • If you push the TPMS reset button while driving, the TPMS reset process is not activated. You must push the TPMS reset button while the vehicle is at a complete stop.

  • Tire pressure should be checked and inflated while the tires are cold.

    A cold tire means the vehicle has been sitting for 3 hours and driven for less than 1.6 km (1 mile) in that 3 hour period.
