There are also other things to set under the vehicle option such as meter setup, keyless access setup, lighting setup, door/window setup, etc. Since your business is with the TPMS, you guessed right! Click on the TPMS Calibration.

How to Maintain Your Honda Civic 2016 Tire
Here are several ways to maintain your Honda Civic 2016 Tires:
- Regular Rotation of Your Tires: One sure way to maintain your Honda tires is to rotate them regularly. This means that you should swap the rear tires for the front ones, or the right side for the left side tires. You should do it evenly, and occasionally to ensure that there is balanced wear and tear on the tires.
- Proper Pressure in Your Tires: Ensure that your tires are always properly pumped. There should be proper pressure in the tires, and each of the tires should have the same amount of pressure in them. Once you notice they are deflated, or there is a right indication of low pressure, do well to take care of the problem by inflating your tires back to the appropriate pressure.
- Moisturize Your Tires Occasionally: While going this route, ascertain that you are using a premium moisturizer or conditioner to properly moisturize the tires, make them run smoothly on the ground, and prevent them from hastened wear and tear. It also gives a beautiful look and feels to your tires.
Final Thoughts
Always make sure that the tires of your vehicle are in perfect condition. When your low-pressure light comes on on your dashboard, stop as soon as you can if you’re already driving to inspect your tires.
If you have ascertained that there’s nothing wrong with your tires, recalibrate your tire pressure light from the screen of your Honda Civic 2016 and you are good to go.
