(1) Low Tire Pressure Telltale/TPMS Malfunction Indicator
(2) Low Tire Pressure Position Telltale
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard 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 pres-
sure 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 pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly 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 mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion 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 oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunc-
tion 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 continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indi-
cator is illuminated, the system may
not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS mal-
functions 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.

What to do in an emergency06

OVI065100N

Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
Information
If any of the followings happens, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer.
1. The low tire pressure telltale/TPMSmalfunction indicator does not illu-
minate for 3 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned ON or engine is
running.
2. The TPMS malfunction indicator remains ON after flashing for
approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low tire pressure position tell- tale remains ON.
Low tire pressure tell-
tale
Low tire pres-
sure position
telltale
When the TPMS malfunction indica-
tor illuminates with a warning mes-
sage on the LCD display, one or
more of your tires are significantly
under-inflated. The low tire pressure
position telltale pinpoints which tire is
significantly under-inflated with the
illumination of the corresponding
position light.
When the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, immediately decrease
your driving speed, avoid hard cor-
nering and prepare for a longer stop-
ping distance. You should immediate-
ly stop the vehicle and check your
tires. Inflate the tires to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehi-
cle’s placard or tire inflation pressure
label, which is on the right lower part
of the driver’s door sill.
When you cannot reach to a service
station, or when the tire cannot keep
the inflated air inside, replace the
under-inflated tire with the spare tire.
Until you repair or replace the under-
inflated tire, the low tire pressure tell-
tale remains ON, and the TPMS mal-
function indicator also remains ON
after 1-minute flashing (when the
vehicle is driven for approximately 20
minutes at a speed above 15.5 mph
(25 km/h)).

Information
A tire pressure sensor is not equipped
with the spare tire.
TPMS (Tire Pressure
Monitoring System)
malfunction indicator
The TPMS malfunction indicator illu-
minates after approximately 1-
minute flashing, when the TPMS
detects the malfunction.
Immediately have the system
checked by an authorized EQUUS
dealer to find the cause of the mal-
function.
Information
If there is the TPMS malfunction, the
low tire pressure position telltale will
not illuminate even with an under-
inflated tire.
The TPMS malfunction indicatormay remain ON after approxi-
mately 1-minute flashing, when
the vehicle drives near electric
power supply cables or a radio
transmitter, such as a police sta-
tion, government/public office,
broadcasting station, military
installation, airport, or transmit-
ting tower. Those may interfere
the normal TPMS operation.
The TPMS malfunction indicator may remain ON after approxi-
mately 1-minute flashing, when
the snow chains or some of your
personal electronic devices, such
as a laptop computer, mobile
charger, remote starting device or
navigation, are used inside the
vehicle. Those may interrupt the
normal TPMS operation.
NOTICE
i
i
6-9
What to do in an emergency06
The low tire pressure telltale
may illuminate in cold weather,
when the tire pressure was
adjusted in warm weather. It
does not indicate the TPMS mal-
function, because the lower
temperature proportionally low-
ers the tire pressure.
When your vehicle drive
through the severe temperature
difference, from warm to cold
and vice versa, or the outside
temperature is greatly higher or
lower, you should check and
readjust the tire pressure to the
recommended level.
CAUTION
- Low pressure damage
Significantly under-inflated
tires makes your driving unsta-
ble, possibly increasing a brak-
ing distance and causing a loss
of vehicle control.
Long-time driving on under-
inflated tires may overheat or
fail the tires.
WARNING

Changing a tire with TPMS
When you have a flat tire, both of the
low tire pressure telltale and the low
tire position telltale will illuminate.
Immediately have the flat tire
repaired or replaced by an author-
ized EQUUS dealer.
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring sensor.
Thus, when replacing with the spare
tire, the low tire pressure telltale will
remain ON.
Also, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after 1-minute flashing,
when the vehicle drives at a speed
above 15.5 mph (25 km/h) for
approximately 20 minutes.
When the tire equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring sensor is re-
inflated to the recommended level,
the low tire pressure telltale and
TPMS malfunction indicator will go
OFF for a few minutes.
When the indicator illumination does
not go OFF after a few minutes,
please visit an authorized EQUUS
dealer.Each wheel is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor, inside the tire and
behind the valve stem (except for the
spare tire). You must use the TPMS-
specific wheels. It is recommended
that you always have your tires serv-
iced by an authorized EQUUS deal-
er.
You cannot diagnose under-inflation
of a tire only with eyes. Always use a
tire pressure gauge of good quality to
measure the pressure level. Please
note that a heated tire (from being
driven) has higher pressure meas-
urement criteria than a cold tire.
A cold tire means the vehicle was
driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km),
or was mostly idle for the last 3
hours.
Cool down the tire before measuring
the inflation pressure. Always make
sure that the tire is cold before inflat-
ing the tire to the recommended
pressure level.
6-10
What to do in an emergency
Never use an unauthorized
puncture-repairing agent to
repair and/or inflate an under-
inflated tire. Unauthorized tire
sealant may damage the tire
pressure sensor.
CAUTION
- TPMS
The TPMS cannot alert the driver to a sudden but severe
tire damage caused by exter-
nal factors, such as nails or
road debris.
When you sense any driving instability, immediately take
your foot off the accelerator,
lightly apply the brakes, and
slowly drive to a safe place off
the road.

What to do in an emergency06
- Protecting TPMS
Arbitral handling, modification
and disabling of the TPMS may
undermine the TPMS perform-
ance to warn the driver of the
low tire pressures or the TPMS
malfunction. Arbitral handling,
modification and disabling of
the TPMS components may
invalidate your warranty of that
part.
