Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal
Explanation
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
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 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 driver’s responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, 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 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.Tire Repair Kit*
If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it.
The puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall.
Go to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.
Before Repairing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, non-slippery surface.
2. Make sure the vehicle is in Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights, and turn the vehicle off.
Getting Ready to Repair the Tire
1. Open  the cargo area  floor lid.
2. Take the kit out of the tool box.
3. Place  the kit  face up  on flat ground near  the 
punctured tire and away from traffic. Do not
place the kit on its side.
4. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the
tire.
Do not use an unapproved puncture-repairing agent other than the one provided
in the kit that came with your vehicle. If a different agent is used, you may
permanently damage the tire pressure sensor.
