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.
Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge
to turn off Low Tire Pressure Indicator . See front driver’s door jamb for
PSI specification. The Low Tire Pressure
Position Indicator A is displayed on the
LCD screen in the Instrument Cluster
when the tire(s) is underinflated.
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.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jamb, visible when the door is opened
• 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.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as maintenance of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics. Below are some tips on how to help improve fuel economy:

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for 20 minutes, 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
•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
