warningCertain components of this vehicle, such as TPMS sensors may contain perchlorate materials. Before deployment and/or disposal of these components, review and comply with all applicable Federal, state and local regulations.
caution
  • Ensure valve cap is always in place except when adjusting tire pressure.
  • If the valve core and valve cap are replaced, use a genuine replacement part. The valve core is similar to a conventional one, but uses nickel plating to avoid corrosion.
  • Replace the valve with a new one every five years or when the tire is replaced.
  • Do not drop the TPMS transmitter from height greater than 1 meter (3.3 feet).
  • Do not expose the TPMS transmitter to extraneous magnetic fields.
  • TPMS transmitter should not be stored at temperatures above 80°C (176°F).
  • TPMS transmitter should not be exposed to temperatures above 100°C (212°F).
  • If the TPMS transmitter is replaced, execute "Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration" on scan tool MB991958 "Special Function."
  • Be careful not to damage the TPMS transmitter.
Pre-removal Operation
  • Wheel and Tire Removal
Post-installation Operation
  • Wheel and Tire Installation
  • Tire Pressure Sensor ID Registration If a new TPMS transmitter is installed (Refer to ).
  • After the tire pressure sensor ID registration, check that the TPMS warning light does not illuminate or flash.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
 
 
<<A>> TPMS TRANSMITTER REMOVAL
cautionBe careful not to damage the TPMS transmitter.
1. Fix the tire on a tire changing machine. Then apply a bead breaking shoe to the shown range to disengage the tire bead from the wheel rim.
noteFor the opposite side, repeat the same procedure.
2. Fix the tire on a tire changing machine so that the TPMS transmitter is positioned as shown.
3.
cautionDo not allow any impact or shock to the TPMS transmitter with a tire lever or tire bead.
Use a tire lever to disengage the upper bead.
4. Rotate the tire in the direction of arrow to disengage the tire bead from the wheel.
5. Fix the tire on a tire changing machine so that the TPMS transmitter is positioned as shown.
6.
cautionDo not allow any impact or shock to the TPMS transmitter with a tire lever or tire bead.
Use a tire lever to disengage the lower bead.
7. Rotate the tire in the direction of arrow to disengage the tire bead from the wheel.
8.
cautionDo not attempt to remove the TPMS transmitter without depressing the portion indicated by the arrow.
Remove the TPMS transmitter from the valve while depressing the portion indicated by the arrow.
9. Cut down the entire groove shown by the arrow to remove the valve.
 
 
 
 
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
 
 
>>A<< VALVE INSTALLATION
1.
cautionInstall only the valve to wheel at first.
The projection shown by the arrow should face towards the outside of the wheel.
 
 
 
>>B<< TPMS TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION
1.
cautionDo not attempt to install the TPMS transmitter without depressing the portion indicated by the arrow.
Install the TPMS transmitter into the valve while depressing the portion indicated by the arrow.
2.
cautionMake sure that the TPMS transmitter and the valve are installed securely.
Pull the TPMS transmitter from the valve by hand to make sure it is secure.
noteIf the TPMS transmitter is disconnected from the valve, the tab securing the TPMS transmitter to the valve may be broken.
 
 
 
>>C<< TIRE BEAD MOUNTING
1. Prepare the tire and fix the rim as usual.
2. Put the tire on the rim, so that the cross point of the bead with the rim is approximately 20 cm (7.9 inch) away from the valve.
3. Engage the shoe and make sure that 20 cm (7.9 inch) is maintained between the cross point and the valve.The arrow shows the direction of rotation of the wheel.
4. Turn the wheel in order to engage all the first side of the tire.
noteThe standard shoes can pass over the sensor without damaging it.
5. Put the second side of the tire in position, so that the cross point of the bead with the rim is approximately 20 cm (7.9 inch) away from the valve. The curved arrow shows the direction of rotation of the wheel.
6. Turn the wheel in order to engage all of the second side of the tire.
noteThe standard shoes can pass over the sensor without damaging it.
