Checking tire inflation pressure
electronically
The tire inflation pressure monitor only
functions on wheels that are equipped with
the proper electronic sensors. It monitors
the tire inflation pressure, as selected by
the driver, in all four tires. A warning is
issued to alert you to a decrease in tire
inflation pressure in one or more of the
tires.
You can call up the tire inflation pressure
monitoring display using the control
system (

tion pressure monitor, the current tire
inflation pressures will only be shown
