WARNING:The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor battery may release hazardous chemicals if exposed to extreme mechanical damage. If
these chemicals contact the skin or eyes, flush immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If any part of the
battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. When disposing of TPMS sensors, follow the correct procedures for hazardous material disposal.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:The TPMS sensor is mounted to the valve stem. Removal of the valve stem requires dismounting the tire from the wheel and removal of the
TPMS sensor. Failure to follow this instructions may result in damage to the TPMS sensor.
NOTE:Use only a digital tire gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure that accurate values are obtained.
