Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-in
fl
ation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
fl
ash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
¾
To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre de
fl
ation or blow out.
NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tyre conditions, the timing of the warning may
be faster or slower in the following cases:
x
The size, manufacturer, or the type of tyres is different from the specification.
x
The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tyre is different from the others, or the level of tyre
wear is excessively different between them.
x
A run-flat tyre, studless tyre, snow tyre, or tyre chains are used.
x
An emergency tyre is used (The tyre pressure monitoring system warning light may flash
and then continue illuminating).
x
A tyre is repaired using the emergency flat tyre repair kit.
x
The tyre pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tyre pressure is
suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tyre burst during driving.
x
The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is
stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
x
The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.
x
Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive
driving on a winding road.
x
Load on the vehicle is applied to a tyre such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of
the vehicle.
x
System initialization has not been implemented with the specified tyre pressure.
