The low-tire pressure warning light may not come on
even if the tire inflation pressure is low, or it may come
on when the tire inflation pressure is set correctly
under the following circumstances:
• A compact spare tire, snow tires, or tire chains are
installed on your vehicle.
• The tires are over-inflated, or the tire inflation
pressure suddenly drops due to a tire bursting
or other causes.
• The vehicle is driven on a slippery road surface
such as rough or frozen roads.
• The vehicle speed is less than 19 mph (30 km/h),
and the driving duration is less than five minutes.
• The tires are made by a different manufacturer or
differ in tread pattern than the original
equipment tires.
• Rapid acceleration/deceleration or multiple
consecutive sharp turns.
• Towing a trailer.
• The vehicle is loaded over the limit or not
balanced properly.
• The initialization (reset) procedure was not
performed correctly after replacing or rotating tires
or wheels.
• The outside temperature is below 32°F (0°C) or
above 104°F (40°C).
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 8,000 miles
(8 000 to 13 000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate your tires as
soon as possible and check wheel alignment. Also
check for damaged tires or wheels. See When It Is Time
for New Tires on page 5-64 and Wheel Replacement
on page 5-67 for more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first rotation
is the most important. See Part A: Scheduled
Maintenance Services on page 6-4 for scheduled
rotation intervals.
