What to do in an emergency
Changing a tire with TPMS
Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor, inside the tire and
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tire). You must use the TPMS-
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized EQUUS deal-
er.
When you have a flat tire, both of the
low tire pressure telltale and the low
tire position telltale will illuminate.
Immediately
have
the
flat
tire
repaired or replaced by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
You cannot diagnose under-inflation
of a tire only with eyes. Always use a
tire pressure gauge of good quality to
measure the pressure level. Please
note that a heated tire (from being
driven) has higher pressure meas-
urement criteria than a cold tire.
A cold tire means the vehicle was
driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km),
or was mostly idle for the last 3
hours.
Cool down the tire before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always make
sure that the tire is cold before inflat-
ing the tire to the recommended
pressure level.
CAUTION
Never use an unauthorized
to
puncture-repairing
agent
repair and/or inflate an under-
inflated tire. Unauthorized tire
sealant may damage the tire
pressure sensor.
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
Thus, when replacing with the spare
tire, the low tire pressure telltale will
remain ON.
Also, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after 1-minute flashing,
when the vehicle drives at a speed
above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for
approximately 20 minutes.
When the tire equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring sensor is re-
inflated to the recommended level,
the low tire pressure telltale and
TPMS malfunction indicator will go
OFF for a few minutes.
When the indicator illumination does
not go OFF after a few minutes,
please visit an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
WARNING
-
•
TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert the
driver to a sudden but severe
tire damage caused by exter-
nal factors, such as nails or
road debris.
•
When you sense any driving
instability, immediately take
your foot off the accelerator,
lightly apply the brakes, and
slowly drive to a safe place off
the road.
