FMVSS 138

Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Each tire should be checked monthly when cold

and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If

your vehicle has tires of a different size than the

size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire infla-

tion pressure label, you should determine the

proper tire inflation pressure for those tires. As

an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys-

tem, TPMS, that illuminates a low tire pressure

telltale when one or more of your tires are signif-

icantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the

low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as possible,

and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving

on a significantly underinflated tire causes the

tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and

tire tread life and may affect the vehicle's han-

dling and stopping ability. Please note that the

TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-

nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if underin-

flation has not reached the level to trigger illumi-

nation of the TPMS low tire pressure indicator.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined

with the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys-

tem detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash

for approximately one minute and then remain

continuously lit. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle startups as long as

the malfunction exists. When the malfunction

indicator is illuminated, the system may not be

able to detect or signal low tire pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a

variety of reasons, including the installation of

replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the

vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning

properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS to continue to function properly.
