To reset the system, do the following:

1. With the engine off, turn the ignition to ON.

2. Press the MODE button until the DIC reads

LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO
RESET.

3. Press and hold the SET button until you hear

a chime, and TIRE PRESSURE RESET is
displayed.

You will hear three chimes, then the LOW TIRE
PRESSURE message will go off and the DIC
will return to TIRE PRESSURE NORMAL. If the
LOW TIRE PRESSURE message comes back on,
the check tire pressure system has not reset.
Repeat the procedure.

The system completes the calibration process
during driving. The system learns the pressure at
each tire throughout the operating speed range
of your vehicle. The system normally takes
between 30 and 60 minutes of driving to learn
the tire pressures. The system normally takes
10 to 20 minutes of driving in each speed range
to learn tire pressures. The speed ranges are
20 to 40 mph (32 to 64 km/h), 40 to 60 mph
(64 to 96 km/h), and above 60 mph (96 km/h).
This time may be longer depending on your

individual driving habits. The learning process
does not need to be completed during a single trip.
Once learned, the system will remember the tire
pressure until the system is reset.

Tire Inspection and Rotation

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).

Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires
as soon as possible and check wheel alignment.
Also check for damaged tires or wheels. See When
It Is Time for New Tires
on page 418 and Wheel
Replacement
on page 422 for more information.

Make sure the spare tire is stored securely. Push,
pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire, If it
moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable.
See Storing a Flat or Spare Tire and Tools on
page 444
.

The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve
more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The
first rotation is the most important. See Scheduled
Maintenance
on page 475.
