Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Light
NOTE:
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks or tire pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire pressure will turn off the warning light.
When the tire pressure warning light does not go off, or when it comes on during driving, check tire pressure (including spare tire) and adjust as necessary. The warning light should turn off after a few minutes. If the warning light is still on even though the tire pressure is correctly adjusted, the tire could be punctured. Repair as necessary. If the warning light is still on or blinks, there is a malfunction in the TPM system. See appropriate manufacturer service information.
Under the following conditions, the system may not function properly:
- The areas, facilities or devices that use similar radio wave frequencies are located in the vicinity of the vehicle.
- A radio device of similar frequency is used in or near the vehicle.
- A lot of snow or ice is stuck to the vehicle, especially the wheels and around the wheel houses.
- The battery of the sensor has been depleted.
- A tire without tire pressure monitor valve sub-assembly is used.
- Tire chains are used.
- If any other wheels than the specified ones are used, the system may not function properly because the radio waves are differently transmitted from the tire pressure sensor.
- Depending on the tire type, the system may not function properly even though the specified wheels are used.
