After driving for a few miles (kilometers), the indicator will go off and the TPMS indicator comes on, but this is normal. If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the low tire pressure or TPMS indicator will go off after a few miles (kilometers). 1 TPMS and the Spare Tire The system cannot monitor the pressure of the spare tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure that it is correct. Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem. 346
