will illuminate.Erasing warning messages
To erase a low tire pressure message and turn off the telltale:
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires (see the article "Tire inflation – checking pressure").
Re-inflate the tires to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening) or the inflation pressure table, see Tire inflation – pressure table.
Recalibrate Tire Monitor, see Calibrating Tire Monitor.
Note
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure, only inflate the tires when they are cold. The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot.
Important
- After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage to the valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
- Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps could corrode and become difficult to remove.
Warning
- Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle.
- Tire monitoring systems cannot indicate sudden tire damage caused by external factors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.
