WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates while driving , never brake suddenly . Instead , perform the following procedure . Otherwise an accident involving serious vehicle damage and serious personal injury could occur .
( 1 ) Keep driving straight ahead while gradually reducing speed .
( 2 ) Slowly pull off the road to a safe place .
( 3 ) Check the pressure for all four tires and adjust the pressure to the COLD tire pressure shown on the tire inflation pressure label on the center pillar on the driver ’ s side .

Even when the vehicle is driven a very short distance , the tires get warm and their pressures increase accordingly . Be sure to let the tires cool thoroughly before adjusting their pressures to the standard values shown on the tire inflation pressure label . Refer to " Tires and Wheels " �P358 . The tire pressure monitoring system does not function when the vehicle is stationary . After adjusting the tire pressures , increase the vehicle speed to at least 25 mph ( 40 km / h ) to start the TPMS rechecking of the tire inflation pressures . If the tire pressures are now above the severe low pressure threshold , the low tire pressure warning light should turn off a few minutes later .
If this light still illuminates while driving after adjusting the tire pressure , a tire may have significant damage and a fast leak that causes the tire to lose air rapidly . For details , refer to " Flat Tires " �P303 .
