Removal And Installation: Notes

WARNING: Certain components of this vehicle, such as TPMS sensors may contain perchlorate materials. Before deployment and/or disposal of these components, review and comply with all applicable Federal, state and local regulations.

CAUTION:

Ensure valve cap is always in place except when adjusting tire pressure.
If the valve core and valve cap are replaced, use a genuine replacement part. The valve core is similar to a conventional one, but uses nickel plating to avoid corrosion.
Replace the valve with a new one every five years or when the tire is replaced.
Do not drop the TPMS transmitter from height greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).
Do not expose the TPMS transmitter to extraneous magnetic fields.
TPMS transmitter should not be stored at temperatures above 80°C (176°F).
TPMS transmitter should not be exposed to temperatures above 100°C (212°F).
If the TPMS transmitter is replaced, execute "Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration" on scan tool MB991958 "Special Function."
Be careful not to damage the TPMS transmitter.
