2.2 Sensor Description

The Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit sensors are automotive-grade sensors designed to monitor tire pressure and temperature consistently and wirelessly transmit data to the receiver. Each sensor has a unique ID# to identify the sensor to the receiver. These are internal sensors that are securely mounted to the valve stem or using a band and bracket kit (not included) inside the tire to prevent damage and/or theft. Internal sensors provide more accurate pressure and temperature readings than external sensors. The sensors are motion-activated and will go into sleep mode when the wheels stop moving to preserve sensor battery life. Sensors may take a few minutes to wake-up. Once the wheel speed is over 12 mph/20 kph, then the sensor will wake-up and will continue transmitting messages to the receiver every minute while moving. As a general reference, the sensor battery life is about 5 years when driven 4 hours per day. See section “4. TPMS Sensors Installation” on how to install

the sensors.

Page 7

2.3 Interchangeable Valve Stem (IVS) Description

The Tuson TPMS’ tire sensors use a metal interchangeable valve stem (IVS) that is designed to fit through either 0.453" or 0.625" diameter wheel valve holes for your convenience. The IVS is compatible with both steel and aluminum wheels. The valve stem and nut portion of the IVS are made of brass and the washer is made of nickel-plated steel. A polybag containing the IVS comes pre-assembled with the 0.625” diameter rubber grommet; metal washer; 0.625” diameter nut and valve cap on the valve stem. A

0.453” diameter rubber grommet and nut are also included in the polybag for each IVS. The IVS should be installed in the wheel using a single rubber grommet only. WARNING! – Do not use both sizes of the included grommets to install the valve stem. See

Section “4. TPMS Sensors Installation” on how to install the sensors.

Page 8

2.4 Repeater Description

The Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit includes a repeater. The repeater features power (red) and ground (black) wires to connect to the trailer battery or any power source that provides a constant 12/24V power. The repeater is designed to boost the signal strength from the tire sensors to the receiver (monitor) in the tow vehicle. The repeater is waterproof and can be exposed to the outside elements without being damaged. On trailers greater than 20 feet long, the repeater must be installed to provide the receiver enough signal strength from the sensors. For small trailers, the receiver may pick up the sensors without the repeater installed however, we highly recommend you install the repeater. In addition to boosting signal strength, the repeater is also designed to transmit the trailer battery voltage to the receiver. The repeater does not need to be disconnected from the power source, because it is motion activated and will go into sleep mode when the trailer is not moving. Therefore, the repeater may take a few minutes while driving to wake-up and start transmitting messages to the receiver. See section

“5. TPMS Repeater Installation” on how to install the repeater.

Page 9

2.5 Receiver Description

The receiver (monitor) allows the driver to monitor the tire pressure and temperature of up to 10-wheels for up to 3-vehicle memory selections. The receiver will also monitor trailer battery voltage when the repeater is connected to a trailer battery. A 12~24V cigarette lighter cable is included to power the receiver in the tow vehicle. The Tuson Display Power Cable (sold separately) can also be used to power the receiver with a 9V battery to make the “Tire Sensor ID Pairing” in section 9.5 easier. The receiver has two menus: Driving Mode and Setting Mode. When in Driving Mode, the receiver will automatically cycle between pressure, temperature, and trailer battery for that selected vehicle memory. When in Settings Mode, you can select the vehicle memory to customize and monitor when in Driving Mode. When monitoring more than 6-wheels on a vehicle memory, the Driving Mode will display the pressure and then temperature for the first 6-wheels and then the pressure and temperature for the additional wheels in the next screen before moving to the trailer battery voltage screen. Alerts on the receiver will continue to appear until the issue with the sensor or repeater has been addressed/cleared.

See section “6. TPMS Receiver Installation” on how to install the receiver and button functions.

For Other Custom Vehicle Configurations, please see note below:

Note: For initial installation, the sensor orientation mark should be installed in the following order:

*Wheel orientation marks used per vehicle selection: CAR 1 ~ 1-10, CAR 2 ~ 11-20, CAR 3 ~ 21-30

1. Sensors on the LEFT side are ODD numbered

2. Sensors on the RIGHT side are EVEN numbered

3. Each vehicle side will have sensors increase in odd or even consecutive order from front to back

4. For vehicles with dually axles, the outside tires should have the lower numbered marking and the inside tires should have the higher numbered marking.

The sensors’ ID# and wheel orientation mark included in the kit are listed in Section “12.3 Sensor ID#s List for Each Vehicle Memory Selection” of each user manual. BEFORE installing additional sensors

not included in the kit, it is highly recommended that the sensor ID#s be recorded in Section 12.3 next to the corresponding wheel orientation mark for easy identification when pairing.

The Interchangeable Valve Stem (IVS) Service Kit

The Tuson TPMS tire sensors use a metal interchangeable valve stem (IVS) that fits through 0.453" and

0.625" diameter wheel valve holes. (Note: If neither grommet size fits the wheel valve hole, a TPMS band and cradle kit can be purchased separately without replacing the existing valve stem.)

Please circle the grommet size that was used for your tire application for easy identification and replacement: 0.453” or 0.625”.

Page 15

Each IVS service kit comes with two (2) rubber grommet sizes: one (1) fits 0.453” diameter wheel valve holes and one (1) fits 0.625” diameter wheel valve holes. The IVS should be installed using a single grommet only. WARNING! – Do NOT use both sizes of the included rubber grommets to install a single valve stem. Please check and make sure that the correct grommet size is used for the valve stem and fits the wheel’s valve hole diameter prior to TPMS sensor installation.

The IVS service kit comes pre-assembled with the

0.625” diameter rubber grommet; metal washer;

0.625” diameter nut and valve cap on the valve stem and includes a separate 0.453” diameter grommet and nut in the polybag.

Please use the preassembled 0.625” diameter grommet on the valve stem if the wheel valve hole is 0.625” diameter.

When the valve hole of the wheel is

0.453” diameter, disassemble the pre-assembled IVS valve stem. Remove the 0.625” diameter rubber grommet, metal washer, nut from the valve stem. Assemble the

0.453” diameter grommet, nut and cap in order.

(Fig 1) & (Fig 2) Deflate and remove the tire from the wheel using a tire mounting machine.

(Fig 3) Assemble the sensor to the metal valve stem using the mounting screw (make sure to use the correct grommet size is on the metal valve stem), then remove the cap, 0.625" washer and nut (OR 0.453" nut) from the metal valve stem.

(Fig 4) Insert the metal valve stem through the wheel’s valve hole, making sure to properly seat the rubber grommet in the valve hole. Then place the back of the sensor body to face the inner surface of the rim, so that the sensor is parallel to the rim.

(Fig 5) Holding the sensor in place, guide the washer (for 0.625" ONLY) onto the metal valve stem on the outside of the valve hole. Then secure the 0.625" OR 0.453" nut on the metal valve stem and torque to

2.95 Ft-lbs (4 N-m). Once secured, affix the cap to the metal valve stem.

(Fig 6) Secure the sensor to the metal valve stem and torque the screw to 1.48 Ft-lbs (2N-m).

Page 17

Now remount the tire back onto the wheel, being careful not to damage the tire pressure sensor during mounting of the tire. Each TPMS retrofit kit comes with a wheel orientation mark sticker sheet to easily identify wheel location on the receiver display and for which vehicle selection.

To apply the sticker to the wheel, clean the surface of the wheel near the valve stem with isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry completely. Do not use brake cleaner or other harsh chemical solvents to prepare the wheel surface for sticker application. Make sure the wheel surface is clean and dry then adhere the corresponding wheel ID sticker to the clean surface near the valve stem. This will help remind technicians to install the wheel back to the correct location according to your defined wheel position.

Lastly, balance the wheel as you would normally, adding weights if necessary, to achieve rotational balance.

Page 18

When removing the tire from the wheel rim to install our Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit, be aware that if the valve stem is secured by a nut, there might be a sensor already installed, be careful not to damage the sensor during the tire removal process.

5. TPMS Repeater Installation

5.1 Repeater Image

5.2 Installation Steps

The repeater is designed to boost the sensors’ RF signals to the receiver in the tow vehicle. The mounting location of the repeater will depend on the type of trailer (bumper pull trailer, 5 the TPMS will be installed on. Select a horizontal surface location to mount the repeater on the front section of the trailer, keeping in mind that the cable ends of the power cord will need to connect to the trailer battery. For optimal signal performance, the key is to have the least obstructed transmission path between the sensors, repeater and receiver. Ideally, to get the best RF transmission between repeater and tire pressure sensors, the repeater should be in an open space with no barriers between the tire pressure sensors and the receiver. Do NOT locate the repeater in an enclosed metal space that will block the RF signals.

Page 20

The repeater is waterproof and can be exposed to the outside elements without being damaged. To review the repeater specification, please refer to the Section 3.2.

When mounting the repeater, the power cord side of the repeater must be facing the tow vehicle and the arrow on the “Trailer Side↑” sticker must be pointing toward the trailer wheels in order to work properly as

shown in FIGURE 5.2

5.2.3

The repeater comes with a peel off adhesive foam pad and self-tapping screws that go through the mounting holes on the edge of the housing to securely mount the repeater. Before permanently mounting the repeater with the screws, temporarily mount the repeater to the desired location and confirm that the sensor(s) and trailer battery data is being received and displayed by the receiver. The sensors are activated by either driving for a short distance or adding/removing air pressure from the tires. Once the readings appear for all of the installed sensors and the trailer battery voltage is showing, the repeater mounting location has been confirmed. Make sure the repeater is mounted in the correct orientation, use the adhesive foam pad and/or the self-tapping screws to

Page 23

secure the repeater. If using the foam adhesive pad to mount the repeater on a trailer frame member, we recommend using at least two screws to fasten the repeater to act as a backup in case the adhesive loses its grip over time.

5.2.4 After securely mounting the repeater to the trailer, route the power wires to the trailer battery.

Mount the O-ring connectors on the repeater’s power wires to the proper trailer battery terminals. Connect the RED O-ring terminal to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal and the BLACK (-) O-ring terminal to the NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal.

5.2.5 Use the cable ties to avoid a loose repeater power cable by fastening the repeater power cable to

the frame of the trailer or 5

wheel. Avoid overtightening cable ties to prevent cutting into the cable.

The first step is to select the vehicle and/or trailer combination that you would like to program.

8.1.1 Press and hold for 3 seconds to enter the Settings Mode Menu. The first screen to display in

the Settings Mode Menu is the Vehicle Selection TPMS parameter setting. The Vehicle Selection

will display as shown below list “CAR 1”, “CAR 2” and “CAR 3”.

8.1.2 Press , then “CAR 1” will blink. Press to select the vehicle and/or trailer

combination you would like to program or select to view in Driving Mode, then press to

Page 42

confirm Vehicle Selection and a short beep will sound. The receiver will automatically go to the next TPMS parameter setting “9.2 Setting the Number of Wheels to Display”. (Note: If no Vehicle Selection is made within 60 seconds, the receiver will beep for a long tone to warn that the last

setting was not stored in the receiver and the display will return to Driving Mode.)

8.1.3 If this is your first time setting up the TPMS Retrofit kit, you will need to set the TPMS parameter

settings for “CAR 1”, starting with Step 9.2 through 9.4. (Note: Step 9.5 is necessary only when adding additional sensors NOT included in this TPMS kit or replacing sensors and step 9.6 is for a tire rotation). If only selecting the Vehicle Selection to monitor in Driving Mode and no other TPMS

parameter settings need to be modified, press and hold for 3 seconds to return to the Driving Mode Menu.

8.1.4 When “CAR 1” settings are complete, you can go back to the Vehicle Selection to repeat setting

procedures 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 for “CAR 2” and “CAR 3”.

Page 43

8.1.5 After TPMS parameter settings have all been programmed for each Vehicle Selection, repeat step

9.1.2 to select the vehicle and/or trailer combination you would like to monitor and then press and

hold for 3 seconds to switch back to Driving Mode. Once the receiver has returned to Driving Mode the TPMS parameter settings programmed for the selected Vehicle Selection will be monitored.

8.1.6 For more than one programmed Vehicle Selection in the receiver, the user will need to go to the

Settings Mode Menu to manually select the programmed Vehicle Selection (CAR 1, CAR 2, CAR 3) they would like to monitor on the receiver. In Driving Mode, the receiver will only display the paired sensors’ data of the selected Vehicle Selection set by the user. If user switches to another vehicle/trailer that has different sensor data programmed on another Vehicle Selection in the same receiver, the user will need to return to the Vehicle Selection setting to select the correct vehicle/trailer to monitor on the receiver.

8.1.7 If you would like to skip the Vehicle Selection setting to go to other parameter settings in the

Setting Mode Menu, you can press to move to the next TPMS parameter setting.

8.2 Setting the Number of Wheels to Display

The receiver can monitor up to ten (10) tires for each programmed vehicle selection. The Setting the Number of Wheels to Display setting allows you to view, set, or modify the number of wheels monitored on the receiver for the selected vehicle selection. The receiver will be preset to either four (4) or six (6) wheels to display based on the number of TPMS sensors included in the TPMS Retrofit Kit for “CAR 1”. The default wheel number to display is six (6) wheels for “CAR 2” and “CAR 3”. If the default Number of Wheels to Display for “CAR 1” is correct and you will NOT be installing additional TPMS sensors to “CAR 1”, then you

Page 44

can press to move to the next TPMS parameter setting. If you are setting up the Number of Wheels to Display for “CAR 2” or “CAR 3” for the first time, or installing additional TPMS sensors to any of the vehicle selections, follow the instructions below:

8.2.1 The Number of Wheels to Display setting screen will show the default wheel number.

8.2.2 Press and the wheel number will blink.

8.2.3 Press to increase/decrease the number of wheels to display. The number of wheels to

display increase/decrease in increments of two.

Page 45

8.2.4 Press to confirm your selection and a short beep will sound, indicating that the setting has

been saved. The receiver will automatically go to the next TPMS parameter setting: “9.3 Setting Tire Pressure” for that vehicle selection. If no further parameter settings are required, you can hold

the for 3 seconds to switch back to Driving Mode. (Note: If the Number of Wheels to Display is NOT made within 60 seconds, the receiver will beep for a long tone to warn that the last setting was not stored to the receiver and the display will return to Driving Mode.)

8.3 Setting Tire Pressure Units

The receiver can monitor and display tire pressure in three (3) different units of pressure: kPa, psi, and Bar. The Setting Tire Pressure Units setting allows the user to view, set, or modify the unit of pressure and standard pressure value for each set of tires monitored on the receiver for the selected vehicle selection. If the Tire Pressure Units setting is skipped, the default tire pressure values listed in step 8.3.3 will be used. Depending on the type of tires that are being monitored the standard tire pressure value will vary. Below is a general tire pressure inflation guideline to help determine the standard tire pressure value to be set based on tire type:

• For Trailer Tires, which will have an “ST” in front of the tire size, tire industry experts recommend

• For Passenger Vehicle Tires, the tire pressure should be inflated to the vehicle’s recommended

using the maximum inflation pressure indicated on the sidewall of the tire to provide the full load carrying capacity. You can also reference the tire inflation pressure guidelines on the chassis plate.

tire pressure located on the vehicle door edge or in the owner’s manual.

The Tuson TPMS monitors the following two tire pressure alerts:

• High Pressure – indicates tire pressure has risen 50% or more above the standard tire pressure value set by the user.

• Low Pressure – indicates tire pressure has fallen 20% or more below the standard tire pressure value set by the user.

Based on the general tire pressure inflation guideline and the system’s pressure alert parameters, you can determine the standard tire pressure value to set for each set of tires using the following formula:

The standard tire pressure value is the "cold" inflation pressure that the tire is designed to hold. It is also important to remember that the vehicle/trailer's recommended tire inflation pressure is always to be measured and set when the tire is "cold". Cold conditions are defined as early in the morning before the day's ambient temperature, sun's radiant heat or the heat generated while driving causes the tire pressure to increase.

Page 47

Once you have determined the standard tire pressure values that you would like to set, follow the instructions below:

8.3.1 The Tire Pressure Units setting screen will list “kPa” “psi” and “Bar” pressure units on the upper-

right hand corner of the display screen.

8.3.2 Press and the pressure units will blink. Pressure unit “psi” will be selected by default. Press

to select the desired pressure unit, then press to confirm and a short beep will

sound.

8.3.3 Once the desired pressure unit is selected, the standard tire pressure value can be programmed

for each set of wheels. Below is chart of the default tire pressure values per pressure unit:

Pressure units Default tire pressure value

8.3.4 The tire pressure value of the first set of wheels will begin to blink. Press to

increase/decrease pressure value to the standard tire pressure value, then press to set the pressure value.

8.3.5 The tire pressure value of the next pair of wheels will begin to blink. Repeat step 8.3.4 until each

pair of wheels has been programmed to the standard tire pressure value.

8.3.6 When you have completed the Tire Pressure Units settings for all tires, you will hear a short beep,

indicating that the set tire pressure values have been saved successfully. The receiver will automatically go to the next TPMS parameter setting: “9.4 Setting Tire Temperature Units” for that

vehicle selection. If no further parameter settings are required, you can hold the for 3 seconds to switch back to Driving Mode. (Note: If the Tire Pressure Units is NOT programmed within 60

Page 49

seconds, the receiver will beep for a long tone to warn that the last setting was not stored to the receiver and the display will return to Driving Mode.)

8.4 Setting Tire Temperature Units

The receiver can monitor and display tire temperature in either ᵒF or ᵒC. The Setting Tire Temperature Units setting allows the user to view, set, or modify the unit of temperature and standard temperature value for each set of tires monitored on the receiver for the selected vehicle selection. If the Tire Temperature Units setting is skipped, the default tire temperature values listed in step 8.4.3 will be used. Generally, the default temperature setting is sufficient, but depending on your circumstances you may want to reduce standard temperature value to common tire temperature settings of 158ᵒF or 167ᵒF (70ᵒC or 75ᵒC).

Once you have determined the standard tire temperature values that you would like to set, follow the instructions below:

8.4.1 The Tire Temperature Units setting screen will list “ °C ” and “ °F ” temperature units on the lower-

right hand corner of the display screen.

Page 50

°F

176 °F

8.4.2 Press and the temperature units will blink. Temperature unit “ °F ” will be selected by default.

Press to select desired temperature unit, then press to confirm and a short beep will sound.

8.4.3 Once the desired temperature unit is selected, the standard tire temperature value can be

programmed for each set of wheels. Below is chart of the default tire temperature values per temperature unit:

Temperature units Default tire temperature value

℃ 80 ℃

8.4.4 The tire temperature value of the first set of wheels will begin to blink. Press to

increase/decrease to the standard tire temperature value, then press to set the temperature value.

8.4.5 The tire temperature value of the next pair of wheels will begin to blink. Repeat step 8.4.4 until

each pair of wheels has been programmed to the desired standard tire temperature value.

8.4.6 When you have completed the Tire Temperature Units settings for all tires, you will hear a short

beep, indicating that the set tire temperature values have been saved successfully. The receiver will automatically go to the next TPMS parameter setting: “8.5 Tire Sensor ID Pairing to the Receiver” for that vehicle selection. If no further parameter settings are required, you can hold the

Page 51

for 3 seconds to switch back to Driving Mode. (Note: If the Tire Temperature Units is NOT programmed within 60 seconds, the receiver will beep for a long tone to warn that the last setting was not stored to the receiver and the display will return to Driving Mode.)

8.5 Tire Sensor ID Pairing to the Receiver

If the Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit sensors were installed according to Section 4. TPMS Sensor Installation and NO additional sensors will be installed for CAR 1, then Setting 8.5 can be SKIPPED for CAR 1. (Note: If installing additional sensors not included in the kit, the “8.5 Tire Sensor ID Pairing to Receiver” MUST be performed to install the additional sensors only.)

To pair the additional tire sensor IDs to the receiver:

8.5.1 The receiver will need to be placed close to each tire with a sensor that you would like to pair to the

receiver. If the included 12V cigarette lighter cable is not long enough to reach the tire sensors that you would like to pair, you can use the following alternatives to reach the tire sensors:

• 12V extension cord with cigarette plug

• Tuson Display Power Cable (sold separately) to power the receiver with a 9V battery,

• 12-Volt AC/DC Power Converter

• Move the tow vehicle close to the trailer

8.5.2 If moving the tow vehicle close to the trailer, disconnect the tow vehicle from the trailer electrically

and physically if it is connected. Move the tow vehicle with the receiver unit installed close enough to the trailer or vehicle wheels that receiver can be placed near the sensors installed in the tires.

Page 52

8.5.3 Move the receiver close to the wheel of the vehicle/trailer wheel to be paired

You do NOT have to pair the sensors that were included in the Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit if you followed Section 4. For example, if you purchased a 6-wheel TPMS Retrofit Kit and 2 additional sensors to monitor 8-wheels total on CAR 1, you will need to pair wheel location 7 and 8 ONLY since 1-6 will already be paired to the receiver.

8.5.4 If the Setting Mode Menu timed out and returned to Driving Mode Menu, then hold for 3

seconds and press until you reach the Tire Sensor ID Pairing setting screen. (Note: The last selected vehicle selection will be the one that you are pairing. If it is not the vehicle selection that you would like to perform the Tire Sensor ID Pairing, then you will need to perform Setting 8.1 again.)

8.5.5 The Tire Sensor ID Pairing screen will show “--1” at the left-front tire sensor by default.

Page 53

8.5.6 Press and the “--1” will blink. Press to navigate to tire location number that you would

like to pair. (Note: One or two red dashes “-” and a number (1-10) are used to indicate the tire location on a Vehicle Selection. Tire location numbers 1-10 on the Tire Sensor ID Pairing will be the same regardless of the Vehicle Selection.)

8.5.7 Once you are on the selected tire location to pair and while the tire location is blinking, begin

deflating or inflating the corresponding tire. Each tire will have 120 seconds to complete the Tire Sensor ID Pairing after the blinking starts. (Note: The receiver will emit a long beep and go back to the Tire Sensor ID Pairing if it DOES NOT receive any signal from tire deflation within 120 seconds.

8.5.8 A short beep will sound and the sensor’s ID number will appear on the receiver indicating that the

sensor signal was received and properly paired to the receiver.

8.5.9 Inflate tire back to standard pressure level.

8.5.10 Press to move to the next tire location you would like to pair.

8.5.11 After completing the Tire Sensor ID Pairing for the vehicle selection, press and the receiver

will automatically go to the next TPMS parameter setting: “8.6 Setting the Tire Position on the Receiver”

screen

Page 54

After you finished the Tire Sensor ID Pairing for a vehicle selection. You can review paired sensor ID#s to each vehicle selection & wheel location to confirm whether each sensor ID and tire location was properly paired to the vehicle selection and matches the sensor ID#s that listed in Section 13.3. Turn the receiver

power off, then press and hold button while powering on the receiver. The following sequence of screens will appear:

• Firmware version

Page 55

• Vehicle Selection/Tire Location/Sensor ID# Screen Cycle

If a sensor did not properly pair to the receiver, then instead of seeing the sensor ID# on the right side of the screen, you will see a “ repeated on both the second and third row (Note: For tire location 10, “

second and third row).

0” followed by the vehicle selection# and the tire location#

A” will be repeated in

If after performing the sensor ID# review, you noticed that some sensor ID#s were reversed and

in the incorrect tire location (i.e. paired sensor ID with wheel orientation mark □ on receiver, but sensor is actually installed in tire location 5 and vice versa), then return to the

Settings Mode Menu and go to Setting 8.6 Setting the Tire Position on the Receiver to swap the tire position to show the correct sensor ID in the right tire location on the receiver.

After you finish reviewing and confirming the paired sensor ID#s to each vehicle selection & wheel location and everything is correct, you are all set and ready to use the Tuson TPMS Retrofit Kit. Congratulations!

8.6 Setting the Tire Position on the Receiver

The Setting the Tire Position on the Receiver TPMS parameter setting is available to the user when performing a tire rotation or when sensors are incorrectly paired to the receiver and need to be swapped. Once you have determined the tire locations that you would like to swap, follow the instructions below:

8.6.1 Press and hold for 3 seconds to enter the Settings Mode Menu. Follow Setting 8.1 to select

the vehicle selection that you need to perform the tire position swap, then press twice to go to the Setting the Tire Position on the Receiver screen.

8.6.2 The Setting the Tire Position on the Receiver screen shows the numbered tire positions for each

tire sensor on the receiver for the vehicle selection as pictured below.

Page 58

8.6.3 Press to enter tire position rotation mode, digit “1” will blink by default. Then press

to select the original tire position which needs to be changed and then press again, and the selected digit at that selected position will turn green and the consecutive digit will begin to blink. (Note: If no change is made in this mode for 60 seconds, the receiver will beep a long tone to warn that setting has not been completed successfully and default back to Driving Mode automatically.)

8.6.4 Then press to select digit of the new tire position to which you want to move the

selected original tire position to, and press to confirm, the digit at the new position will also turn green.

8.6.5 The digits at both exchanged positions will remain displayed in green for 3 seconds to show which

2 tires are exchanged. Then the chosen digits will automatically turn back to red.

8.6.6 Then the screen will show the new positions. If you need to exchange more than one pair of tires,

press to repeat the procedure.

8.6.7 Once you have completed rotating tire positions on the receiver press and hold for three

seconds and the receiver will go to Driving Mode.
