TPMS Reminder Reset - Procedure 07: Notes

This vehicle is equipped with an indirect TPMS that doesn't use tire pressure sensors mounted inside the tires. It uses the existing VSA wheel speed sensors to monitor and compare tire characteristics while driving.

The calibration begins when the TPMS switch is pressed or the calibration is selected through the Multi-information display. The calibration is completed after driving 31 to 62 mph (50 to 100 km/h), steadily without much acceleration or deceleration for about 19 minutes.

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.
