Wheel Change Initialization

NOTE: Each time a tire and/or tire pressure sensor/valve is changed, the new tire sensor/valve must be initialized. The tire and/or sensor change is incomplete if initialization process is not performed.

NOTE: Initializing the tire pressure sensor is a basic requirement for the tire pressure monitoring system to function properly.

NOTE: The vehicle must stand for 20 minutes and then be driven on a 10 minute initialization drive at speeds greater than 16 mph (25 K/ph)

Adjust air pressure in all tires to specifications (provided on vehicle's tire pressure label).
Turn ignition ON.
On the center instrument cluster display (MMI), press the CAR function button. See Figure.
Select "TIRE PRESSURES MONITORING". Then "STORE CURR. TIRE PRESSURES" or STORE NOW".

NOTE: The system will detect a malfunction if the control module is not ready for initialization because the 20 minute waiting period was not completed. The system will only initialize the tire pressure sensors automatically after a 20 minute waiting period.
