TIRES PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF EQUIPPED)

➀

Low Tire Pressure Telltale

➁

TPMS Malfunction Indicator

Each tire, including the spare (if pro-

vided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehi-

cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-

ard or tire inflation pressure label. (If

your vehicle has tires of a different

size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-

sure 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 System

(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more

of your tires is significantly under-

inflated. 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 under-inflated tire caus-

es the tire to overheat and can lead

to tire failure. Under-inflation 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 responsi-

bility to maintain correct tire pres-

sure, even if under-inflation has not

reached the level to trigger illumina-

tion of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped

with a TPMS malfunction indicator to

indicate when the system is not

operating properly. The TPMS mal-

function indicator is provided by a

separate telltale, which displays the

symbol "TPMS" when illuminated.

When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be

able to detect or signal low tire pres-

sure as intended. TPMS malfunc-

tions may occur for a variety of rea-

sons, 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

indicator after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to

ensure that the replacement or alter-

nate tires and wheels allow the

TPMS to continue to function proper-

ly.
