Low tire pressure warning light
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 20 mph ( 32 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 . 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 vehicle placard on the door 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 ” FP532 .
