Whenever you check the tire pressure and adjust it to the recommended level, you must reset the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) on the dashboard to allow the sensors in the valves to calibrate to the current value and subsequently alert you to a tire puncture.

The reset operation is performed manually and requires no diagnostic tools: it must be done with the engine running and the vehicle stationary.

Access the information menu by simply pressing the knob on the center console; rotate it to the SETTINGS section, enter the section by pressing the knob, and rotate it to highlight the VEHICLE\TIRES option. Press again to access the TIRE PUNCTURE: RPA option, rotate the knob to select the CONFIRM TIRE PRESSURE command, and press to confirm with YES.
