TPWS Tire Pressure Warning System - Setting By Specified Pressure

[jdchiarella]

When I go into vehicle settings/TPWS and I select " Setting by Specified Pressure" I get the screen that shows "33" as pressure for front tires. The manual states on page 559-560 that this is user adjustable., but I can get it to change using buttons as usual. See paste of manual instructions below. and pics of screens displayed Anyone figure this out yet? Thanks in advance.

1 Start the hybrid system.


The tire inflation pressure cannot


be set while the vehicle is moving.


2 Select on the multi-


information display.


3 Select “Vehicle Settings”.


4 Select “TPWS Setting”.


5 Select “Tyre Pressure Set-


ting”.


6


Maintenance and care560 6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance


6 Select “Setting by Specified


Pressure” and then select the


desired front and rear tire


pressures.


7 Select “Yes”.


The tire pressure warning light will


slowly blink 3 times.


After setting the tire inflation pres-


sure, a message indicating that set-


ting has been completed will be


displayed on the multi-information


display.

Anybody????

Why are you changing it? This value is the baseline used to determine if a low pressure warning is triggered. For example, if the actual measured pressure is 28 psi, (33-5) you will probably get the warning.

I just want to understand how it works, and see if it user definable. Can you adjust yours?

I’d like to adjust as well for airing down. Considering not using in the summer. The warning was really handy when I got a sidewall tear. Gave me just enough time to find a level spot to change tires.

Have you tried to change the setting and see if it is user definable?

I can change it with “setting by current pressure”. I wasn’t able to manually specify a number.

Thanks for checking and verifying my experience ! I owe you one if you ever get down to Southern California.
