The tire pressure sensors are installed together with the air valve on the rim. The sensor consists of a pressure sensor, a communication circuit, an acceleration sensor and a battery.

NOTE:

Special procedures are required for removing the tire from the rim depending on vehicle model and tire type. This is to prevent damaging the sensor.
