TPMS FORD BRONCO SPORT 2022 Owners Manual

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING: The tire
pressure monitoring system is
not a substitute for manually
checking tire pressures. You
should periodically check tire
pressures using a pressure
gauge. Failure to correctly
maintain tire pressures could
increase the risk of tire failure,
loss of control, vehicle rollover
and personal injury.
Note: You should only use tire
sealants in roadside emergencies
as they may cause damage to the
tire pressure monitoring system
sensor.
Note: If the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor becomes
damaged, it may not function. Each tire, including the
spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
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 significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly 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 vehicle
’s handling
and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not
a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver ’s
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for

approximately one minute and
then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction 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
installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

Changing Tires With a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Note:
Each road tire is equipped
with a tire pressure sensor located
inside the wheel and tire assembly
cavity. The pressure sensor is
attached to the valve stem. The
pressure sensor is covered by the
tire and is not visible unless the tire
is removed. Take care when
changing the tire to avoid
damaging the sensor.
You should always have your tires
serviced by an authorized dealer.

sure warning light
Make sure tires are at the proper
pressure. See Inflating your tires
in this chapter. After inflating
your tires to the manufacturer’s
recommended pressure as
shown on the Tire Label (located
on the edge of driver ’s door or
the B-Pillar), the vehicle must be
driven for at least two minutes
over 20 mph (32 km/h) before
the light turns off.
