The Tire and Loading Information label (tire information
placard) shows the size of your vehicle’s original tires and
the correct ination pressure for your vehicle’s tires when
they are cold. SeeInation - Tire Pressure on page 5-64.
For the location of the tire and loading information label,
seeLoading Your Vehicle on page 4-47.
Your vehicle’s TPMS can alert you about a low tire
pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. SeeTire Inspection and Rotation on
page 5-70andTires on page 5-57.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle has
Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant can
damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.
Resetting the TPMS Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication code. Any
time you rotate your vehicle’s tires or replace one or more
of the TPMS sensors, the identication codes will need to
be matched to the new tire/wheel position. Each tire/
wheel position is matched to a sensor, by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure. The sensors are
matched to the tire/wheel positions in the following order:
LF TIRE (left front tire on the driver’s side of the vehicle),
RF TIRE (right front tire on the passengers side of the
vehicle), RR TIRE (right rear tire on the passengers side
of the vehicle), and LR TIRE (left rear tire on the driver’s
side of the vehicle).You will have one minute to match the rst tire/wheel
position, and ve minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer than one minute,
to match the rst tire and wheel, or more than ve
minutes to match all four tire and wheel positions the
matching process stops and you will need to start over.
The TPMS sensor matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the engine off.
3. Turn the headlamp switch from off to the parking
lamps setting four times within three seconds. A
double horn chirp will sound and the TPMS low tire
warning light will begin to ash. The double horn
chirp and ashing TPMS warning light indicate that
the TPMS matching process has started. The
TPMS warning light should continue ashing
throughout the matching procedure. The SERVICE
TIRE MONITOR message will be displayed on
the Driver Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
5-68

5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for 10 seconds,
then stop and listen for a single horn chirp.
The single horn chirp should sound within
15 seconds, conrming that the sensor identication
code has been matched to this tire and wheel
position. If you do not hear the conrming single
horn chirp, you will need to start over with Step 1.
To let air-pressure out of a tire you can use the
pointed end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage or a key.
6. Proceed to the passenger’s side front tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the passenger’s side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the driver’s side rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the conrming horn chirp for the
left rear tire, check to see if the TPMS warning
light is still ashing. If it is, turn the ignition switch
to LOCK to exit the sensor matching process.
If the TPMS warning light is not ashing, the
ve minute time limit has passed and you will need
to start the process over beginning with Step 1.10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems
The spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor. If you
replace one of the road tires with the spare, the CHECK
TIRE PRESSURE message will be displayed on the
DIC screen. This message should go off once you
re-install the road tire containing the TPMS sensor.
The SERVICE TIRE MONITOR message is displayed
when the TPMS is malfunctioning. One or more missing
or inoperable TPMS sensors will cause the service
tire monitor message to be displayed. See your dealer
for service.
