They shut down to conserve battery power when the wheel is not rotating.

2. As soon as you mount the spare, you should go through the quick TPM reset procedure which will recognize the "new" transmitter. Takes about 0.6 miles to work.
Was driving one day, it has the same warning, then I initialised it. Didn't had a nail until recently when dealer said the tyre looks abit low in air. I took the car in for fixing for other stuffs. Dont really like RFT
