inflate your tires to the prescribed level.
TPMS with Tire Fill Assist  provides visual and audible 
assistance during tire pre ssure adjustment. With the 
power mode in ON and the transmission in

you adjust tire pressure up or down, the system alerts 
you as follows:
Below recommended pressure:  The beeper 
sounds and exterior lights  flash once every five 
seconds.
At recommended pressure:  The beeper sounds 
and exterior lights flash ra pidly for ~ five seconds.
Above recommended pressure:  The beeper 
sounds and lights flash tw ice every two seconds.

activation, Tire Fill Assist wi ll be canceled until you set 
the power mode to OFF.
You cannot use Tire Fill  Assist if the engine was
