Tires, Wheels and Loading Reset with message center: To reset turn the ignition to the ON position, press the set up button on the message center until "SYSTEM CHECK" is displayed. Press the RESET button until "HOLD RESET TO RELEARN" is displayed, continue to hold the button for three seconds. The low tire warning indicator light will flash three times as the low tire warning system begins to initialize. The system normally requires 15 to 20 minutes of driving in each of three speed ranges to learn how the tires behave after the system has been reset. However, the system will become functional in each speed range as soon as learning completes in each individual speed range. Speed ranges: • Low 25-42 mph (40-68 km/h) • Medium 42-62 mph (68-100 km/h) • High - above 62 mph (100 km/h) This system may not function properly under the following conditions: • Uneven tread wear. • Driving on loose or low traction surfaces such as gravel, snow or slush. • Using tire chains • Initial tire pressures out of specified range. • Two or more under inflated tires. • Sudden loss of tire pressure. • Vehicle speeds less than 20 mph (30 km/h), greater than 70 mph (120 km/h) or driving duration less than 10 miles. • Transporting a heavy load or towing a trailer. • A different tire was replaced and was not the same brand, type, size, speed rating, load carrying capacity and DOT code as the other tire on the same axle. • System was not reset after tire rotation, air pressure adjustment, a tire change, wheel alignment or tire balancing. • System was not reset after the ABS warning lamp illuminates. The low tire warning feature can be turned off by your authorized dealer. 202 2005 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
