I did this when I first bought the car (to test my first car with a TPMS) and the light did not light. I was going to take it back to the dealer to fix the system until I read the owners manual part about the wheel needing to be turning. I then lowered each wheel and the light cam on (after the lamp reset each time and so on) and thats why I knew about the 20mph thing I re-read last day or so. When I first got my 08 manual set, I was glancing through it (reading it) and remembered the exercise above, and read about the sensors. It just took me a long time to find this reference because I was looking for a TPMS section when it was in the 'wheels' section
