IF THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON OR BLINKS WHILE DRIVING, DO THE FOLLOWING.

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light:

If the warning light comes on:
1. Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified level as soon as possible.

Tire Pressure Warning System Reset Switch:

2. Push the tire pressure warning system reset switch for approximately one second and make sure the warning light goes off.

If the light remains on after the reset switch has been pushed, have the tire pressure warning system checked.

If you have a flat tire, replace it with the spare tire.

If the warning light blinks slowly (every 0.5 seconds) the low tire pressure warning system may be malfunctioning.

If the warning light blinks rapidly (every 0.25 seconds) the low tire pressure warning system needs to be initialized.
Reset the system with the tire pressure warning system reset switch.


TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM RESET SWITCH

Tire Pressure Warning System Reset Switch:

The tire pressure warning system needs to be initialized in the following conditions:
- When the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light blinks every 0.25 seconds
- After replacing or rotating tires or wheels

When initializing the system, the present tire condition is stored as a standard.

To initialize the system, perform the following:
1. Park the vehicle at a safe place and apply the parking brake. Stop the engine.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified level.
3. Turn the ignition key to "ON".
If the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light blinks, push the reset switch for a few seconds and make sure the warning light goes off.

4. Push and hold the reset switch until the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light blinks three times.
Initialization is completed after driving at the speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) or over for more than one hour.

If the following driving conditions are satisfied, initialization will be completed in about one hour.
- The vehicle speed is between 50 km/h (31 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph).
- The roads are dry, smooth and straight.
- The number of passengers is 1 or 2 (including driver).


NOTICE




When initializing the system, make sure the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light blinks three times. If the warning light does not blink three times, initializing will not occur and the tire pressure warning system will not function property.

Do not push the reset switch without adjusting the tire inflation pressure to the specified level. Otherwise, the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light may not come on even if the tire pressure is low, or it may come on when the tire inflation pressure is actually normal.

If you push the reset switch while the vehicle is moving, initialization is not performed.
If the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light does not blink when you push and hold the reset switch, have the low pressure warning system checked.

When the warning light blinks every 0.25 seconds while driving, you may be unable to reset the system. In this case, set the system again according to the procedure above.
