more details.
(Type A cluster)
Instrument Cluster Overview (Type A)
The indicator
functions as both Low Tire
Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator will illuminate if one or more tires is
significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire
without TPMS or the outside temperature becomes
significantly colder.
Inflate tire(s) to specifications to turn off Low Tire
Pressure Light
using an accurate digital tire
pressure gauge. See front driver’s door jamb for PSI
specification.
The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
will illuminate after
it blinks for approximately one minute when there is a
problem with the TPMS. See dealer for service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
O
OEven with TPMS, tire pressure
should be checked manually at
least once a month. Only adjust
Tire Pressure on “cold tires”
OFor proper maintenance and
optimal fuel economy, maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the load
limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle
OIn 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 TIPS
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure
Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s).
For more information on the function
of all indicator and warning lights,
please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
