Tire Pressure Monitor System Activation
CAUTION:
When driving with snow chains or a space-saver spare tire, DO NOT initialize the system.
- Set the tire pressure of all wheels to specification.
- Turn ignition switch to ON position, with engine off.
- Press reset button until the message "SET TIRE PRESSURE" appears in the Check Control display. See Fig 1.
- After the vehicle has been driven for a few minutes, the RDC will import the current inflation pressure in the tires as the target values which the system will monitor.
NOTE:
If you are prompted to check the tire pressure shortly after a correction has been made, this indicates that the corrected values were not accurate. Please check the inflation pressure again and make corrections.
You will only have to repeat the Activation procedure if the tire inflation pressure must be corrected. Otherwise, the RDC functions automatically when the ignition key is in the ON position, and thus operates whenever the vehicle is driven.
NOTE:
If the spare tire is equipped with the electronics required for RDC, following activation of the system it will also be monitored after it is mounted.
