The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when a significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of the vehicle’s tires. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected by adding the \
proper amount of air to the tire(s). The proper tire pressures for the vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading Information label located below the driver’s door latch.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates when the vehicle is first started and then turns off as the vehicle is driven, check for the proper tire pressures.
