Wheels and Tires: Service Precautions
TIRE AND WHEEL: TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM: PRECAUTION
1. REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING VALVE SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) When installing a tire, make sure that the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter sub-assembly does not interfere with the tire bead in order to prevent damage to the sensor.
(b) After completing the installation, remove the valve core to rapidly release the air in the tire and check that the warning light comes on. If the warning light does not come on, the system may be defective.
(c) If there is an air leakage, tighten the nut to a force of 4.0 N*m (41 kgf*cm, 35 in.*lbf) and push the valve core 2 or 3 times to remove any dirt attached to the valve core. If air continues to leak, replace the grommet, the washer and the nut.
(d) When installing the tire pressure valve and transmitter sub-assembly, check that the rim, grommet, washer and nut are clean. Use a manufacturer-specified cap.
(e) When inflating the tire, first install the tire pressure valve straight onto the stem of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter sub-assembly.
2. TIRE AND WHEEL REPLACEMENT OR TIRE ROTATION
(a) If replacing a tire, replace the grommet.
(b) If tires and wheels are replaced, register the transmitter ID Registration.
