Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Introduction

NOTE

USA – FCC ID: KR5S122780002

This device complies with part 15 of the

FCC rules. Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this

device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

The tire pressure monitoring system

uses sen-

sors mounted in the tire valves to check infla-

tion pressure levels. When the vehicle is mov-

ing at a speed of approximately 20 mph

(30 km/h) or faster, these sensors transmit

inflation pressure data to a receiver located in

the vehicle.

When low inflation pressure is detected, TPMS

will light up the tire pressure warning light

(

) (also referred to as a telltale) in the

instrument panel and will display one of the

following messages in the text window:

Tire

pressure low

or Tire needs air now.

NOTE

If a fault occurs in TPMS, the tire pressure

warning light will flash for approximately

1 minute and

Tire press. syst Service

required

will be displayed.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked monthly when cold and

inflated to the inflation pressure recommended

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 inflation

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

system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-

sure 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 pres-

sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated

tire causes 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 handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute

for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-

er's responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-

sure, even if under-inflation has not reached

the level to trigger illumination 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 malfunction indicator is combined with

the low tire pressure telltale. When the system

detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for

approximately one minute and then remain

continuously illuminated. This sequence will

continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as

long as the malfunction exists. When the mal-

function 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.

This system is standard on U.S. models and optional on Canadian models
