pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously appeared.
This sequence will continue upon subse

quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the TPMS mal

detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari

ety of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tyres or
