To restore the full functionality of the tire pressure monitoring system,
have the damaged road wheel/tire repaired and remounted on your
vehicle. For additional information, refer to Changing tires with a

when your tires need air. It can also warn you in the event the system is
no longer capable of functioning as intended. Please refer to the
