TPMS / Maintenance-Tire Display
I have searched all over and can't seem to find the answer to this question.
I ran over something about 4 miles away from home. I did not know what this light (_!_) meant until I was nearly home because it was driving a little weird. Whatever I went over caused a gash on the inner side of the tire. Luckily, the tire ran out of air when I got to the front of my driveway.
After replacing my tire this morning, the light went away within 5 minutes. However, it looks like there are 4 tires on the screen from this menu: Info/Maintenance/Tires. It shows intervals of 0/6000/12000/18000.
It looks something like this:
....v
[____|____|____]
....v
[____|____|____]
..........v
[____|____|____]
[____|____|____]
(don't mind the dots- its there for the space)
How can I find out which is for what tire? Unless, these bars are meant for something else...

I've searched everywhere and couldn't find out what the gauges are for. I thought it was monitoring each tire individually how long each tire can last due to the driving habits.
I guess I was just paranoid last night and thought that the last gauge was my blown tire and the second to last one was my other tire that's on the same side.

Yeah, what he said. Those are maintenance reminders you can set yourself to go off at whatever interval you choose. For oil changes or tire rotations or whatever. Once your mileage comes up on your set interval it will nag you about it every time you start the car. Then when you perform the maintenance you hit the reset interval button and it will go off again in another 3750 miles or whatever.
