Main Menu Table Of Contents Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) TPMS System Failure Changing a Tire with TPMS If you have a flat tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator and tire monitor indicator will come on. Replace the indicated flat tire with the compact spare tire (see page 319 ). After the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, the low tire pressure/ TPMS indicator stays on while driving. After several miles (kilometers) driving, this indicator begins to flash, then stays on again. You will also see a ''CHECK TPMS SYSTEM'' message on the multiinformation display. This is normal; the system cannot monitor the spare tire pressure. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure it is correct. This indicator and the warning message on the multi-information display will go off, after several miles (kilometers) driving, when the spare tire is replaced with the specified regular tire equipped with the tire pressure monitor sensor. Each wheel is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem. You must use TPMS specific wheels. It is recommended that you always have your tires serviced by your dealer or a qualified technician. Driving If there is a problem with the TPMS, you will see the above message on the multi-information display. Also, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator begins to flash, then stays on (see page 272 ). If you see this message, the system is off and is not monitoring the tire pressures. Have the system checked by your dealer as soon as possible. CONTINUED 275 2008 TL
