Tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) (U.S.-spec.
models)
! Hill descent control indicator light
Low tire pressure warning light (models
with EyeSight system)
This light illuminates while the hill descent
control function is in the standby mode. It
flashes while the function is operating. It
will turn off when the function is in the
disabled mode. When this function is
changed from operational to non-operational, it will turn off when the vehicle
speed reaches more than approximately
18 mph (30 km/h).
Low tire pressure warning light (models
without EyeSight system)
The tire pressure monitoring system provides the driver with a warning message
by sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel when tire pressure
is severely low.
The tire pressure monitoring system will
activate only when the vehicle is driven at
speeds above 25 mph (40 km/h). Also,
this system may not react immediately to a
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example,
a blow-out caused by running over a
sharp object).
WARNING
If the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates while driving, never
brake suddenly and keep driving
