Tire Pressure

Tripod137 · 01-20-2006, 10:07 PM

I recently upped my tire pressure from the factory setting to 42/20 on my '06. Need I hit the Tire Pressure reset button?

(I know this topic might be out there already, but the SEARCH is broken again :-( )

Those of us who have read the manual (a very painful and tedious task) know that the answer to this question is: YES!

As my friend at work said (who also has an '06), "it took them three pages to say press the button and hold it until the tire pressure indicator blinks three times".

Ok BUT.......

There are apparently two areas that are concerned with tire pressure reset. I was going to reset it today but didn't until I was certain what BOTH of these did.

First item has been discussed above. Below the streering wheel yada yada.

But the 2nd one is located deep in the Menu.

Here is how to get to it:

Hit Menu on top right of MultiFunction Display
Then Click on "Setup"
Then go to page 3 of 3 and select Calibration ADJUST

If you click on "Select after tire change" you will get the following message:

System has entered calibration mode.

Nothing else APPEARS to happen. What are you supposed to do now? I have not found anything in the user manual.

Any clue anyone?

Thanks

Maybe he/she did not think to look at the manual, Maybe he/she don't have the manual, Or just maybe they just wanted to write in to be a part of the gang, you know to have fun and be a mamber of the Priuschat.com family. So please keep the bad aditude to yourself..... Maybe you are just writing this to be a part of the family also?. Lets not be so negative with others . It really takes the fun out if this. thank you

Three60guy · 04-17-2006, 08:32 PM

Bad attitude? Sorry, at least I answered the guy's question. What did you add to the discussion? Are you having a bad day or something? My reply was way back in January and did not elicit any other discussion (hey, the guy got his question answered!). Do you troll old discussions just to be a PC cop? Exactly how did my answer "take the fun out of this"? When is it out of line to gently point out that the info is in the manual but is indeed hard to digest? Again - at least I answered the question rather than just saying to RTFM as I have often seen in this and other forums.

Is it a calibration for tire diameter for the NAV system after changing tires? Used to have that on my Audi with NAV.

Good possibility. Not sure, however.

Where are the experts?

his official nav system class isn't till august but this will make him take a close look at things first.

at the dealer these things come up so rarely, it's good for him to get these kinds of questions.
