Tire And Wheel System: Precaution
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF TIRE PRESSURE WARNING VALVE AND TRANSMITTER
- When installing a tire, make sure that the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter does not interfere with the tire bead in order to prevent damage to the sensor.
- After completing the operation, remove the valve core to rapidly release air and check that the warning light comes on. If not, the system may have a defect.
- If there is air leakage, tighten the nut with 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 there is still air leakage, replace the grommet, the washer and the nut all together.
- When installing the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, check weather the rim, grommet, washer and nut are clean. Use a manufacturer-specified cap.
- When putting air into the tire, first install the tire pressure valve straight onto the stem of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter.
- TIRE AND WHEEL REPLACEMENT OR TIRE ROTATION
- When replacing tires, be sure to check if the grommet of the tire valve is damaged. If so, replace the grommet together with the washer and nut.
- When tires and wheels are replaced, make sure to register the transmitter ID.
