• Inflating a low tire will not clear the Low Tire Warning indicator light.
Only reseting the system will clear the light.
• The system will not detect a pressure loss without driving the vehicle
for at least 0.8 km (0.5 mile) at speeds greater than 40 km/h
(25 mph).
To reset the system if equipped
with Tire Reset switch:
turn the ignition to the ON position,
press and hold the “TIRE RESET”
switch (located on the instrument
panel behind the left side of the
steering wheel) for three seconds.
The low tire warning indicator light
will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize.
To reset the system if not
equipped with Tire Reset switch:
turn the ignition to the ON position,
depress and Trip/odometer button
(located in the instrument cluster)
until “TIRE RESET” or “CHECK
TIRE AND RESET” is displayed in the odometer display window. Once
“TIRE RESET” or “CHECK TIRE AND RESET” is displayed, press and
hold the button for three seconds. The low tire warning indicator light
will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize.
The system normally requires 15 to 20 minutes of driving in each of
three speed ranges to learn how the tires behave after the system has
been reset. However, the system will become functional in each speed
range as soon as learning completes in each individual speed range.
Speed ranges:
• Low 40–68 km/h (25–42 mph)
• Medium 68–100 km/h (42–62 mph)
• High – above 100 km/h (62 mph)
This system may not function properly under the following conditions:
• Uneven tread wear.
• Driving on loose or low traction surfaces such as gravel, snow or slush.
• Using tire chains
• Initial tire pressures out of specified range.
