Calibrating the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

In order for the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to work properly, tire pressure reference values must be set correctly. This must be done each time wheels are changed or tire pressures are modified.

Calibrating TPMS

To calibrate the system:
Switch off the engine.
Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure. Consult the tire pressure decal 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 in your printed owner's manual supplement.
Start the engine.

Open the Car status app in the center display's App view.

Tap Status to access Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Tap the calibration button.
Tap OK after the tire pressure in all four tires has been checked and adjusted.
Drive the vehicle.
The calibration process will be completed while driving and will be interrupted if the vehicle is parked and the engine is switched off. Calibration continues automatically when driving resumes.

When enough data has been collected to detect a low tire pressure situation, the tires' color in the center display will change to green. The system will not give any text confirmation when calibration is finished although it will state if calibration fails. When driving with heavy loads or at sustained highway speeds, the tire pressure should be adjusted to the recommended inflation pressures.

After adjusting inflation pressure, repeat steps 1-8.

 Note

Always remember to calibrate the Tire Pressure Monitoring System when the wheels have been changed or the tire inflation pressure has been corrected according to the tire pressure decal or tire inflation pressure table.

If correct reference values have not been set, the system cannot issue low tire pressure alerts correctly.

The vehicle must be parked with the engine running to access the calibration button and to start the calibration process.

 Warning

The exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is invisible and odorless but very poisonous. For this reason, always perform the calibration procedure outdoors or in a workshop with exhaust gas evacuation equipment.
