Tire pressure monitoring system
App lies to vehicles: with tire pressu re mon itoring system
General notes C.. ~
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
month ly when cold and inflated to the inflat ion pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inf lation pressure label. ( If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres ­
sure 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 significant ly
under -inflated. Accord ingly, when the low tire pressure tel ltale illu ­
minates, you shou ld stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure . Driving on a significan tly
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 vehic le's handling and stopping ability .
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte­
nance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct t ire
pressure, even if under -inflation has not reached the leve l to trigger
il lumination of the TPMS low tire pressure te lltale .
Your veh ic le has a lso been equipped w ith a TPMS malfunction indi­
cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly . The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire p ressure
telltale . When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale wil l
flash for approx imately one minute and then remain cont inuously
il luminated . This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start -ups as long as the malfu nction exists.
When the ma lfunction 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
insta llation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning prope rly . A lways
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or whee ls on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
p roper ly .•

l oad conditio n of you r vehicle changes . Proceed as follows :
Correct the tire pressure
Check the pressure in the t ires (i ncluding the spare tire).
Adjust the air pressure as needed in accordance w ith the
i nformation on the tire pressure label.
