When trouble arises
WARNING
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage 
should occur
The tire pressure warning system may 
not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly when 
cold and inflated to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label (tire and load 
information label). (I f your vehicle has 
tires of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the vehicle placard or tire infla-
tion pressure label [tire and load 
information label], yo u should determine 
the proper tire infl ation pressure for 
those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle 
has been equipped with a tire pressure 
monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure 
warning system) that illuminates a low 
tire pressure telltale  (tire pressure warn-
ing light) when one or more of your tires 
is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale 
(tire pressure warnin g light) illuminates, 
you should stop and check your tires as 
soon as possible, and inflate them to the 
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire 
to overheat and can lead to tire failure. 
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect 
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure 
warning system) is not a substitute for 
proper tire maintenance, and it is the 
driver’s responsibility  to maintain correct 
tire pressure, even if under-inflation has 
not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale 
(tire pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with 
a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 
malfunction indicator  to indicate when 
the system is not operating properly. The 
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 
malfunction indicator is combined with 
the low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) . When the system 
detects a malfunction, the telltale will 
flash for approximately one minute and 
then remain continuously illuminated. 
This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the 
malfunction exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is illuminated, the system may 
not be able to detect or signal low tire 
pressure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 
malfunctions may occur for a variety of 
reasons, including the installation of 
replacement or alternate tires or wheels 
on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS 
(tire pressure warning system) from func-
tioning properly. Always check the 
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) 
malfunction telltale after replacing one 
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to 
ensure that the replacement or alternate 
tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire 
pressure warning system) to continue to 
function properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warning 
system operates properly
Do not install tires with different specifi-
cations or makers, as the tire pressure 
warning system may not operate prop-
erly.
