You have just unpacked your newly purchased TPMS. The sensors look so goreous

and the display is just perfect. You're thrilled about owning this cutting-edge

gadget. "But...how do I install it?"

Installation in 10 steps~(note that installation may vary since there are TPMS of different makes and you may need assistance of a professional mechanic)

1. Lift the car with a jack and leave the jack underneath the car for safety.
 

2. Take off the tires and bleed the air. Then remove the air valves from the
    wheels. (Note: You must replace the original valves with those provided by the
    TPMS supplier).


3. Match the number on each sensor and find out which one should go to which
    tire. For example, RF-1 means "right front, NO.1"; RR-2 means "right rear,
    NO.2". This may vary among TPMSs of different brands.


4. Install TPMS valve to the wheels.


5. Use Nylok screws (included in the package) to tighten the sensors into the
    valves on the wheels.


6. Adjust the sensors angle to fit them tightly on the wheels. Tighten the
    screw on the sensors.


7. Clean the tire to prevent any damages to sensors.


8. Use a balance machine to balance tires untill it shows "OK". A lead tire
    weight may be needed. The step may require the assistance of a tire fitting
    service or a mechanic. To ensure safety, it is vital that the wheels are balanced.



9. Repeat the above-mentioned steps to the rest of the tires.

10. Activate the cigar lighter to activate the in-car display.


Once installed and the power is on, usually the TPMS will start monitoring the
tire pressure and drivers will be warned if the pressure or temperature is too
high. Drivers can also set new values/figures for tire pressure or temperature
based on their needs.
