vehicle’s recommended cold tire pressure
displayed in the “Inflate to XX” message.
NOTE:When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need
to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa)
above the recommended cold placard pressure in
order to turn the TPMS Warning Light off.
The system will automatically update, the graphic
display of the pressure value(s) will return to its
original color and the TPMS Warning Light will
extinguish once the updated tire pressure(s) have
been received. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to
receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning
The TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds, and remain on solid when a system fault
is detected. The system fault will also sound a
chime. The instrument cluster display will display a
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message for a minimum
of five seconds. This message is then followed by a
graphic display, with “--“ in place of the pressure
value(s), indicating which Tire Pressure Monitoring
System sensor(s) is not being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the
system fault no longer exists, the TPMS Warning
Light will no longer flash, the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will not be present, and a pressure value will be displayed instead of dashes.
A system fault can occur by any of the following:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same Radio
Frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
NOTE:
There is no TPMS sensor in the spare tire. The TPMS
will not be able to monitor the tire pressure. If you
install the spare tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, upon
the next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS Warning
Light will remain on, a chime will sound, and the
instrument cluster display will still display a pressure
value in the different color graphic display and an
“Inflate to XX” message will be displayed. After
driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h), the TPMS Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. In addition, the instrument cluster display will
display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for five
seconds and then display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value. For each subsequent ignition switch
cycle, a chime will sound, the TPMS Warning Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the instrument cluster display will
display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for five
seconds and then display dashes (--) in place of the
pressure value. Once you repair or replace the
original road tire, and reinstall it on the vehicle in
place of the spare tire, the TPMS will update auto
-
matically.

In addition, the TPMS Warning Light will turn off
and the graphic in the instrument cluster display
will display a new pressure value instead of dashes
(--), as long as no tire pressure is below the
low-pressure warning limit in any of the four active
road tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for up
to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation — If Equipped
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel
and tire assemblies that do not have TPMS
sensors, such as when installing winter wheel and
tire assemblies on your vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires not
equipped with TPMS sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h).
The TPMS will chime, the TPMS Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on. The instrument cluster will display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message and then
display dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.

R/T w/Tow N Go 295/45ZR20Due to limited clearance, tire chains
or traction devices are not recommended.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can cause
unpredictable handling. You could lose control
and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe
the following precautions:

Because of restricted traction device clearance
between tires and other suspension compo -
nents, it is important that only traction devices
in good condition are used. Broken devices can
cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle imme -
diately if noise occurs that could indicate
device breakage. Remove the damaged parts
of the device before further use.

Install device as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).
Autosock traction devices do not require
retightening.
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and
large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry
pavement.
CAUTION!
