Running lower tire pressure
I want to run lower tire pressure on my rear tire's. Going from 44 to 42. However, I get the TPMS message warning and the only way I can get rid of the warning is to re-inflate back to 44. How can I run lower tire pressure and not have the warning?

I think if you click through the menus there's a way to toggle between summer and winter tires, and it essentially tells the computer that whatever the current values are are what they're supposed to be.

The instructions are explained in detail on pages 122-124 in the manual. I run 33 in the fronts and 39 in the rears and have never had a low tire pressure warning.

Set load to partial instead of full

33/39 is cold tire pressure and my "comfort" preference. The pressures listed in the manual and driver's side door jamb are much higher. I find the factory recommendations loosen my fillings and damage my kidney.

You should be able to run any pressure you want, then reset and train the system again to new pressures. Done this plenty of times. Takes a few mins for the system to read it while rolling.

Set the tire pressure to this setting and for whatever reason, now not getting a warning. Also, much more enjoyable ride. Plus, and I know this sounds crazy, it handles better on the road. Before, set on the factory numbers, it would hit so hard and lose composure over every bump. Now, just a firm bump and continues straight as if on rails.

I also run 33 in the front and 39 in the rear when COLD.
After driving for awhile the TPMS shows the pressures around 36 / 42 HOT.
Never have any warnings at all.
I hated the factory spec pressures.
