NOTE:

If a flat tire is replaced with the spare tire, and the flat tire is stored in the cargo 
area, the low pressure indicator will stay on but the appropriate tire indicator 
will go off. This prevents the customer from thinking there is a problem with the 
spare tire. When the flat tire is taken out of the vehicle for repair, the TPMS 
indicator will come on because the system is no longer receiving the signal 
from the tire's transmitter.

NOTE:

When a tire pressure sensor is replaced or tires are rotated, the sensor ID must 
be memorized by the TPMS control unit. See TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR 
REGISTRATION in appropriate manufacturer service information.

NOTE:

On models equipped with PAX tire systems, if a tire is repaired or replaced, the 
warning indicator (and the mileage counter that supports it) must be reset, no 
matter how far the vehicle was driven in the run flat mode. See appropriate 
manufacturer service information.
