Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control 
that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and 
death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and 
legal operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices, 
other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s 
eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a 
vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be 
used during operation of the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The TPMS indicator  functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light 
and TPMS Malfunction Indicator  . The indicator 
 will illuminate  
if 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
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated 
after inflating your tire(s)  .
