light on the instrument cluster. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected. Current tire pressures can be displayed using the Driver Information
Center controls. The proper tire pressures for your vehicle are listed on the Tire and
Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door l atch.
You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tire pre ssure warning light will
appear when the vehicle is first started and then turn off as y ou drive. This may be an
early indicator that your tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to
the proper pressure.

monthly tire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures.
