When you believe your system is not operating properly

when your tires need air. It can also warn you in the event the system is
no longer capable of functioning as intended. See the following chart for

2. After inflating your tires to the
manufacturer’s recommended
pressure as shown on the Tire Label
(located on the edge of driver’s door
or the B-Pillar), the vehicle must be
driven for at least two minutes over
20 mph (32 km/h) before the light
turns off.

Spare tire in use

Repair the damaged road wheel and
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle to
restore system function. For a
