How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are
properly inated simply by looking at them. Radial
tires may look properly inated even when they
are underinated. Check the tire’s ination
pressure when the tires are cold. Cold means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem.
Press the tire gage rmly onto the valve to
get a pressure measurement. If the cold tire
ination pressure matches the recommended
pressure on the Tire and Loading Information
label, no further adjustment is necessary. If the
ination pressure is low, add air until you reach the
recommended amount.
If you overll the tire, release air by pushing on
the metal stem in the center of the tire valve.
Recheck the tire pressure with the tire gage.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve
stems. They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
Your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
that sends tire pressure information to the
Driver Information Center (DIC). Using the DIC
control buttons, the driver is able to check
tire pressure levels in all four road tires. SeeTire
Pressure Monitor System on page 423and
DIC Controls and Displays on page 204for
additional information.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
Your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). This system uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure levels. TPMS
sensors are mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly on your vehicle. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires and
transmit the tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
423

When a low tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPMS illuminates the low tire pressure warning
light, located in the instrument panel cluster,
and at the same time the LOW TIRE PRESSURE
warning message on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) displays. The low tire pressure
warning light and the DIC warning message
appear at each ignition cycle until the tires are
inated to the correct ination pressure. For
additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays seeDIC Controls and
Displays on page 204andDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 206.
You may notice, during cooler weather conditions,
that the low tire pressure warning light and the
LOW TIRE PRESSURE DIC warning message
may come on when the vehicle is rst started, and
then turn off as you start to drive. This may be
an early indicator that the air pressure in the tire(s)
is getting low and needs to be inated to the
proper pressure.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inated to
the ination pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
ination pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires ofa different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire ination pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire ination
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
signicantly
under-inated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signicantly
under-inated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-ination also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

If a Tire Goes Flat
It is unusual for a tire to “blow out” while you are
driving, especially if you maintain your tires
properly. If air goes out of a tire, it is much more
likely to leak out slowly. SeeTires on page 413for
additional information.
Your vehicle, when new, had run-at tires. This
type of tire can operate effectively with no air
pressure, so you will not need to stop on the side
of the road to change a at tire. You can just
keep on driving. The shorter the distance you drive
and the slower the speed, the greater the
chance that the run-at tire will not have to be
replaced. Run-at tires perform so well without any
air that a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is used
to alert you if a tire has lost pressure. SeeRun-Flat
Tires on page 420andTire Pressure Monitor
System on page 423.{CAUTION:
When the TIRE FLAT MAX SPD 55,
REDUCED HNDLG message is displayed
on the Driver Information Center, your
vehicle’s handling capabilities will be
reduced during severe maneuvers. If you
drive too fast, you could lose control of
your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don’t drive over 55 mph (90 km/h)
when the TIRE FLAT MAX SPD 55,
REDUCED HNDLG message is displayed.
Drive cautiously and check your tire
pressures as soon as you can.
If the TPM system detects a tire pressure below
5 psi (34 kPa), the TIRE FLAT MAX SPD 55,
REDUCED HNDLG warning message is displayed
on the Driver Information Center (DIC). See
DIC Controls and Displays on page 204andDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 206for
information and details about the DIC operation
and displays.
