failure. Under-inflation also reduces fue l efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the veh ic le's handling and stopping abi lity.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte­
nance, and it is the driver's responsibi lity to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the leve l to tr igger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure tellta le.
Your veh icle has a lso been equipped with a TPMS malfu nction indi­
cator to indicate when the system is not operating properly . The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined w ith the low tire press ure
telltale . When the system detects a ma lfunction , the telltale wi ll
fl ash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously
illum inated . This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start -ups as long as the ma lfunction exists.
When the ma lfunctio n indicator is i llum inated, the system may not
be ab le to detect or signa l low tire pressure as intended . TPMS
malfunctions may occ ur for a var iety of reasons, i nclud ing the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehic le that prevent the TPMS from f unctioning proper ly . Always
check the TPMS malfunction tellta le after replac ing one or more
t ires or whee ls on yo ur ve hicle to ens ure t hat the replacement or
a lternate tires and wheels allow the T PMS to continue to function
proper ly. •
Introduction
The tire pressure monit oring system m onitors air pressure
in all four road wheels and the spare tire* while the
vehicle is movin g.
As soon as the tire pressure moni toring system se nses a signi ficant
loss of air pressure in one or severa l tires, text messages and yellow
symbo ls appear in the inst rume nt cluster d isplay to aler t t he driver .
T he
(l) warning light in the instrument c luster comes on when the
t ire is sig nificant ly underinflated
=> page 20 .
Controls and equip­
ment
Driver information di splay
The warning light U) also i lluminates in the case of a system
mal fu ncti on.
The system continuous ly receives rad io signa ls from sensors
located inside each tire .
Be aware that t ire p ressu re is also dependen t on the tempera ture of
the tire . For every
18 °F (1 O °C) increase in tire temperature, tire pres­
sure increases by about 1 .5 psi (0 .1 bar). The tire warms up wh ile the
vehicle is moving and t ire pressure rises . So you should adjust tire
pressure only when the t ires are
cold, when the temperature of the
tires is roughly the same as the ambient air temperature .
I n order to keep the tire pressure monitoring system properly cali ­
brated, tire pressure on all four tires and on the spare tire* should
be checked at regular intervals, adjusted if n ecessary and saved in
the proper setti ng (recommended
pressure) => page 44.
The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA vehi ­
cles, the tire pressure labe l is located on the drive r's s ide B -p ill ar. On
Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is located either on the
driver's side B -pillar o r inside the fuel fi ller flap. The t ire press ure
label l ists t he recommended cold tire inflat io n pressures for t he
vehic le at its maximum capacity weight and the tires that were on
your ve hicle at the time it was manufactured . For recommended tire
pressures for normal load condit ions, please see chapter
=> page 328 .
The current temperatures and pressure of your tires can be viewed
in the M MI
=> page 43 .
& WARNING
• When the tire pre ssure monitoring system warning light i s lit ,
one or more of your tires is signifi cantly under -infl ated . You should
stop and check your tires a s soon a s po ssible , and inflate them to
the proper pre ssure a s indi cated on the vehi cle' s tire pre ssure
label
