Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) – HONDA 2010 Ridgeline User Manual

Page 283

This indicator comes on and stays on
if there is a problem with the tire
pressure monitoring system.

If this happens, the system will shut
off and no longer monitor tire
pressures. Have the system checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.

If the low tire pressure indicator or
TPMS indicator comes on, the VSA
system automatically turns on even if
the VSA system is turned off by
pressing the VSA OFF switch (see
page

). If this happens, you

cannot turn the VSA system off by
pressing the VSA OFF switch again.

Although your tire pressure is
monitored, you must manually check
the tire pressures monthly.

The appropriate tire indicator and
low tire pressure indicator comes on
if a tire becomes significantly
underinflated. See

on page

For example, if you check and fill
your tires in a warm area, then drive
in extremely cold weather, the tire
pressure will be lower than
measured and could be underinflated
and cause the low tire pressure
indicator to come on. Or, if you
check and adjust your tire pressure
in cooler conditions, and drive into
extremely hot conditions, the tire
may become overinflated. However,
the low tire pressure indicator will
not come on if the tires are
overinflated.

Refer to page

for tire inflation

guidelines.

When you restart the vehicle with
the compact spare tire, the TPMS
indicator may also come on and stay
on after driving several miles
(kilometers).

Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold, and
set to the recommended inflation
pressure as specified on the tire
information label and in the owner’s
manual (see page
