TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine As a driver assistance feature, your vehiclehas a tire pressure monitoring system. Awarning lamp will illuminate when one ormore of the tires are significantlyunder-inflated. If the low tire pressurewarning lamp illuminates, you should stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,check the tires and inflate them to thecorrect pressure.
Driving on under-inflated tires can:
•Cause them to overheat.
•Lead to tire failure.
•Reduce fuel efficiency.
•Reduce tire life.
•Affect vehicle handling or stoppingability.
The system is not a substitute for correcttire maintenance.
You must maintain the correct tirepressures, even if low tire pressure has notilluminated the warning lamp.
Understanding the Tire PressureMonitoring System
The system measures the pressure in thefour road tires and sends the tire pressurereadings to your vehicle.
The system detects this lower pressure asbeing significantly below the correctinflation pressure and the warning lampilluminates. You must inflate the tires tothe correct pressure.
If the Warning Lamp is On:
1.Check each tire to verify that none areflat.
2.If one or more tires are flat, repair asnecessary.
3.Check the tire pressures and inflate allthe tires to the correct pressure.
4.Carry out the tire pressure monitoringsystem reset procedure.
Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemReset Procedure
You must carry out the system resetprocedure after each tire replacement oradjustment of the tire pressures.
Carrying Out the System ResetProcedure
1.Check the tire pressures and inflate allthe tires to the correct pressure.
2.Use the information display controls onthe steering wheel or instrument panel.
To reset the tire pressure monitoring system, scroll to:
