Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Pushing the tire

pressure warning reset switch does not turn off the tire pressure warning light.

■

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as natural air

leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjust-

ing the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).

When a tires is replaced with a spare tire

The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.

The tire pressure warning light will turn on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare

tire is low. If a tire goes flat, even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire,

the tire pressure warning light does not turn off. Replace the spare tire with the

repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning

light will turn off after a few minutes.
