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” FP538. The tire pressure monitoring system does not function when the
