TPMS calibration is required after performing any of the following actions:

  • Adjusting tire pressures
  • Rotating the tires
  • Replacing the tires
  • Updating/replacing the VSA modulator-control unit

Calibration begins when TPMS switch is pressed (Models Without ACC) or Calibration is selected through the Multi-information display (Models With ACC). The process finishes automatically as the vehicle is driven. This takes about 30 minutes of cumulative driving at 30 to 60 mph.
