Tire Pressure Monitor System REINITIALIZATION

NOTE: If a tire pressure has been adjusted, or a wheel or tire has been changed or replaced, or repairs have been made to air spring suspension, the TPM system must be reinitialized. System must be reinitialized both before and after pulling a trailer.
CAUTION: When driving with snow chains or a space-saver spare tire, DO NOT initialize the system.
  1. Set the tire pressure of all wheels to specification.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position, with engine off.
  3. Press the switch long enough for the yellow indicator lamp in the instrument cluster to light up for a few seconds. See Fig 1, Fig 2, or Fig 3 .
  4. Drive vehicle. Initialization is automatically completed during the drive, without any additional feedback.
NOTE: If you are prompted to check the tire pressure shortly after a correction has been made, this indicates that the corrected values were not accurate. Please check the inflation pressure again and make corrections according to the inflation pressure table. Then activate the system once again.
