This system monitors tire pressure. Please remember, this system

illuminate. If the low tire pressure warning light illuminates, check the tire pressure in all
four tires.
To turn the low tire pressure warning light off, adjust the low tire pressure to the
recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label
located in the driver’s door opening. After tire pressures are adjusted, the vehicle will
need to be driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off
the low tire pressure warning light.
