TPMS Reminder Reset - Procedure 09: Overview
To maintain your vehicle load carrying capability, your vehicle requires different tire pressures in the front tires compared to the rear tires.
The system illuminates the warning lamp at different pressures for the front and rear tires.
The tires need to be periodically rotated to provide consistent performance and maximum tire life, the system needs to know when the tires have been rotated to determine which set of tires are on the front and rear axles. With this information, the system can detect and correctly warn of low tire pressures.
