•
The code should be centered and focused in your mobile device’s camera screen
•
Consider moving your device closer to or far ther away from the code
•
The code should be well lit, without significant shadow
•Avoid scanning from a significant angle
•
Confirm that the device’s app suppor ts 2D QR Code scanning
•
Tr y another QR Code Reader App; not all apps are created equal
After scanning, you may experience a “connection error ” message or a “connecting” message with no subsequent response. These messages t ypically indicate that your device is having trouble connecting to the Internet

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†21
The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed without TPMS or the outside temperature becomes significantly lower The Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator A is displayed on the LCD screen in the Instrument Cluster when the tire(s) is underinflated
•Inflate tire(s) to specifications to turn off the Low Tire Pressure Light using an accurate tire pressure gauge See front driver ’s door jamb for PSI specifications
•When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate - See dealer for service

REMINDERS:
•
Consult your dealer for ser vice if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
•
Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of the driver's door jamb, visible when the door is opened
•
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc ) may inter fere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sit ting for 3 hours or more, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
•For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
•A significant drop in temperature can cause tire inflation pressures to drop, which may activate the TMPS light Manually confirm tire pressures after significant changes in temperature or altitude
