check engine light CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2005 6.G Owner's Manual

When you end this high-speed driving, return the tires to
the cold ination pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. SeeLoading Your Vehicle
on page 4-31.
Example:
You will nd the maximum load and ination pressure
molded on the tire’s sidewall, in small letters, near
the rim ange. It will read something like this: Maximum
load 690 kg (1521 lbs) 300 kPa (44 psi) Max. Press.
For this example, you would set the ination pressure for
high-speed driving at 38 psi (265 kPa).
Racing or other competitive driving may affect the
warranty coverage of your vehicle. See your warranty
booklet for more information.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System on your
vehicle, uses radio and sensor technology to check tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted on each tire and
wheel assembly transmit tire pressure readings to
a receiver located in the vehicle. The TPM sensors
transmit tire pressure readings once every 60 seconds
while the vehicle is being driven and once every
60 minutes when the vehicle is stationary for more than
15 minutes. Using the Driver Information Center (DIC),
tire pressure levels can be viewed by the driver.The TPM system also uses the DIC to warn the driver
when air pressure, in one or more tires, falls below
24 psi (164 kPa) or is above 42 psi (290 kPa).
For additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays seeDIC Controls and Displays
on page 3-49andDIC Warnings and Messages on
page 3-54.
A low tire pressure warning light also appears on the
instrument panel cluster when a low tire condition exists.
The low tire pressure warning light will be shown
each time the engine is started and stays on until the
low tire condition is corrected.
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
light is lit, one or more
of your tires is signicantly
under-inated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Driving on a signicantly under-inated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
