The tire pressure monitor system detects differences in tire rotation speeds that are caused by changes in tire pressure. The system can alert you about a low tire — but it doesn’t replace normal tire maintenance. See Tires on page 5-58.

When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE message comes on, you should stop as soon as you can and check all your tires for damage. (If a tire is flat, see If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-74.) Also check the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can. See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-64.

The LOW TIRE PRESSURE message will also be displayed (while the ignition is on) until you reset (calibrate) the system.

Don’t reset the tire pressure monitor system without first correcting the cause of the problem and checking

and adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If you reset the system when the tire pressures are incorrect,

the system will not work properly and may not alert you when a tire is low.

Any time you adjust a tire’s pressure, rotate your tires, or have one or more tires repaired or replaced, you’ll need to reset (calibrate) the tire pressure monitor system. You’ll also need to reset the system whenever you buy new tires and whenever the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected.

The tire pressure monitor system can be reset two ways. To reset (calibrate) the system using the ignition, do the following:

1.Turn the ignition position to ON.

2.Pull the exterior lamp control from the ON position to the OFF position three times.

To reset (calibrate) the system through the radio, do the following:

1.Turn the ignition to ACC or ON and turn the radio off.

2.Press and hold the TUNE DISPL button on the radio for at least five seconds until SETTINGS is displayed.

3.Press the SEEK PSCAN up or down arrow to scroll through the main menu.

4.Scroll until TIRE MON appears on the display.
