Driving

You must start TPMS calibration every time you:

•

Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.

•

Rotate the tires.

•

Replace one or more tires.

Before calibrating the TPMS:

•

Set the cold tire pressure in all four tires.

TPMS Calibration

TPMS Calibration

TPMS cannot be calibrated if a compact spare tire is 
installed.
The calibration process requires approximately 30 
minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between 30-
60 mph (48-97 km/h).
During this period, if the power mode is set to ON and 
the vehicle is not moved within 45 seconds, you may 
notice the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on 
briefly. This is normal and indicates that the calibration 
process is not yet complete.

If the tire chains

 are installed, remove them before 

calibrating the TPMS.

If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even 
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are 
installed, have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

We recommend that the tires be replaced with the 
same brand, model, and size as the originals. Ask a 
dealer for details.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

Driving

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard 
or tire inflation pressure label.

(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated 
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should 
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with 
a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low 
tire pressure telltale 

when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you 
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate 
them to the proper pressure.

Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to 
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces 
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's 
handling and stopping ability.

U.S. models

When Driving

u

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

Driving

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire 
maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain 
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the 
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction 
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. 
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire 
pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the 
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain 
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon 
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may 
not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including 
the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the 
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or 
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the 
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to 
continue to function properly.

Blind spot information System

*

Driving

Blind spot information System

*

Is designed to detect vehicles in specified alert zones adjacent to your vehicle, 
particularly in harder to see areas commonly known as “blind spots.”

When the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the 
appropriate indicator comes on for a few seconds, providing assistance when you 
change lanes.

■

How the system works

1

Blind spot information System

*

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the blind spot information 
system has limitations. Overreliance on the blind spot 
information system may result in a collision.

The blind spot information system alert indicator may 
not come on under the following conditions:

•

A vehicle does not stay in the alert zone for more 
than two seconds.

•

A vehicle is parked in a side lane.

•

The speed difference between your vehicle and the 
vehicle you are passing is greater than 6 mph (10 
km/h).

•

An object not detected by the radar sensors 
approaches or passes your vehicle.

•

A vehicle running in the adjacent lane is a 
motorcycle or other small vehicle.

WARNING

Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to 
change lanes before doing so may result in 
a crash and serious injury or death.
Do not rely only on the blind spot 
information system when changing lanes.

Always look in your mirrors, to either side 
of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes.

Alert zone range

A: Approx. 1.6 ft. (0.5 m)

The system can assist you when it determines there is a possibility of your vehicle 
colliding with a vehicle or a pedestrian detected in front of your vehicle. The CMBS

Important Safety Reminder

The CMBS

unavoidable collision. It does not prevent collisions 
nor stop the vehicle automatically. It is still your 
responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering 
wheel appropriately according to the driving 
conditions.

The CMBS

 may not activate or may not detect a 

vehicle in front of your vehicle under certain 
conditions:

 P. 504

When the CMBS

TM

 activates, it may automatically

stops or a potential collision is not determined.

The radar sensor is at the 
lower part of the front 
bumper.

The camera is located 
behind the rearview 
mirror.

The system starts monitoring the roadway ahead when your vehicle speed is about 
3 mph (5 km/h) or above and will search for a vehicle in front of you.

When to use

The CMBS

TM

 activates when:

●

The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle or pedestrian detected in 
front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a chance of a collision.

●

Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines 
there is a chance of a collision with:

- Vehicles detected in front of you that are stationary, oncoming, or traveling in your 
same direction.
- A pedestrian who is detected in front of you.

●

Your vehicle speed is above 62 mph (100 km/h), and the system determines there 
is a chance of a collision with a vehicle detected in front of you traveling in your 
same direction.
