■ Replacing tire and wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
If the ID code of the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter is not regis-
tered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. After driving for
about 10 minutes, the tire pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute and stays
on to indicate a system malfunction.

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified technician even if it
has seldom or never been used, or damage is not obvious.
Low profile tires (vehicles with 195/50R16 tires)
■
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire grip performance
will be reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when compared to standard tires.
Be sure to use snow tires (P. 304) on snowy and/or icy roads and drive
carefully at a speed appropriate for road and weather conditions.
Routine tire inflation pressure checks (vehicles with a tire pressure
■
warning system)
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation pres-
sure checks. Make sure to check tire inflation pressure as part of your routine
of daily vehicle checks.
If the tread on snow tires wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.)
■
The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is lost.
