Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†2 2
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light
and TPMS Malfunction Indicator . The indicator will 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 LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure
indicator A showing which tire(s) are underinflated . Inflate tire(s) to
specifications using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge to turn off Low
Tire Pressure Light . See front driver’s door jamb for PSI specification .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will blink for approximately one minute then illuminate - See dealer
for service .
•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month . Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” •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 •In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather
QUICK TIP
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jam, visible when the door is open .
• Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s) .
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) that have electronic noise may interfere with TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate.
