Tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) – Acura 2008 MDX User Manual

Although your tire pressure is

monitored, you must manually check

the tire pressures monthly.

Each tire, including the spare, should

be checked monthly when the

vehicle is cold, and set to the

recommended inflation pressure as

specified on the vehicle placard and

in the owner’s manual (see page

).

To select the tire pressure monitor,

press the INFO button several times

with the ignition switch in the ON

(II) position.

You will see the above display on the

multi-information display when all

tire pressures are normal.

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/

TPMS 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/

TPMS indicator will not come on if

the tires are overinflated.

Refer to page

for tire inflation

guidelines.

If there is a problem with the TPMS,

this indicator begins to flash. It stops

flashing after approximately 1

minute, then stays on. You will also

see a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’

message on the multi-information

display (see page

).
