(9) Verify that the TPM module has been pro-
grammed with the identification code from the new
tire pressure sensor/transmitter using the DRBIII
t
scan tool. If the identification code and tire pressure
thresholds from the new tire pressure transmitter
are present in the receivers memory the new tire
pressure transmitter has been correctly programmed
to the receiver.
TIRES
DESCRIPTION - TIRES
The tires used on this vehicle are the Michelin
Pilot SPORT Zero Pressure. These tires are designed
and engineered for their specific use on this vehicle.
The Zero Pressure designation means that the tire
has been designed to be driven for a distance of up to
50 miles (80 kilometers) at a maximum speed of up
to 55 mile per hour (89 km/h) with zero air pressure
in the tire. This is an important feature considering
this vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire.
These tires have a directional tread pattern. That
means the tire is designed to rotate in a certain
direction at speed. The tire sidewall has markings
showing which direction the tire is to rotate when
the vehicle is moving in the forward direction.
With proper care and driving habits, these tires
will give excellent reliability, traction, skid resis-
tance, and tread life. Driving habits will have more
effect on tire life than any other factor. Careful driv-
ers will obtain, in most cases, much greater mileage
than severe use or careless drivers. A few of the driv-
ing habits which will shorten the life of any tire are:
• Rapid acceleration
• Severe application of brakes
• High-speed driving
• Taking turns at excessive speeds
• Striking curbs and other obstacles
Tire type, size, load index and speed rating are
encoded in the letters and numbers imprinted on the
side wall of the tire. Refer to the Tire Identification
chart to decipher the code. For example purposes, the
tire size P225/60 R 16 97 T is used in the chart. This
vehicle uses 2 different size tires, front and rear:
• Front — 275/35 ZR 18
• Rear — 345/30 ZR 19
