Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
If your vehicle has this feature, sensors are mounted on
each tire and wheel assembly, except the spare tire.
The TPM sensors transmit tire pressure readings
to a receiver located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the
TPM system will display the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
warning message on the Driver Information Center
(DIC); and at the same time illuminate the low tire
pressure warning symbol. For additional information and
details about the DIC operation and displays seeDIC
Operation and Displays on page 3-47andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-50.
When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning
light is lit, one or more
of your tires is signi cantly
under-in ated.
You should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and in ate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard.Driving on a signi cantly under-in ated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-in ation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and set to the
recommended in ation pressure as speci ed in the
vehicle placard and owner’s manual.
The Tire and Loading Information label (tire information
placard) shows the size of your vehicle’s original
tires and the correct in ation pressure for your vehicle’s
tires when they are cold. SeeIn ation - Tire Pressure
on page 5-66. For the location of the tire and loading
information label, seeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-44.
Your vehicle’s TPM system 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 5-60.
Notice:Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.
