Main Menu Table Of Contents Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Although your tire pressure is monitored, you must manually check the tire pressures monthly. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when the vehicle is cold, and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on the vehicle placard and in the owner's manual (see page 443 ). If you think you can safely drive a short distance to a service station, proceed slowly to the station, then inflate the tire to the recommended pressure. If the tire is flat, or if the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, replace the tire with the compact spare tire (see page 457 ). Touring models regular tire equipped with the tire pressure monitor sensor. Never use a puncture-repairing agent in a flat tire. If used, you will have to replace the tire pressure sensor. Have the flat tire repaired by your dealer as soon as possible. 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. Changing a Tire with TPMS If you have a flat tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS and tire monitor indicators will come on. Replace the indicated flat tire with the compact spare tire (see page 458 ). 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 392 2008 Odyssey
