Tire Pressure Monitoring System Low Pressure
Warnings
When a tire pressure low in one or more of the
active road tires is detected, the instrument cluster
will display a message stating “Trailer Tire
Pressure Low”. The instrument cluster will then
display the TTPMS graphic showing the pressure
values of each tire with the low tire pressure values
in a different color.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with a low pressure
condition (those in a different color in the
instrument cluster graphic) to the customer
programmed target tire pressure value as shown
at the top of the TTPMS instrument cluster graphic.
Once the tire(s) are inflated, the system will
automatically update the graphic display in the
instrument cluster, returning to its original color.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TTPMS to receive the updated information.
Service TTPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the instrument cluster
will display a “Trailer Tire Pressure System Service
Required” message for a minimum of five seconds. Once the system fault is corrected the "Trailer Tire
Pressure System Service Required" message will
no longer be displayed. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TTPMS to receive the
trailer tire pressure information.
Trailer Tire Pressure System Not Configured
A “Trailer Tire Pressure System Not Configured”
message will be displayed in the instrument
cluster on the TTPMS instrument cluster graphic
when a trailer number is selected that has not had
trailer tire pressure sensors paired. To correct this
condition, see Ú
page 234.
Trailer Sensors Detected Do Not Match Active
Trailer
The “Trailer Sensors Detected Do Not Match Active
Trailer” message will be displayed in the
instrument cluster when the trailer sensors being
received by the TTPMS module do not match the
trailer sensors paired to the current trailer number
selected. This message will be displayed when the
sensors being received completely match the
sensors paired to another trailer number
configured in the TTPMS module.
To correct this condition, the correct trailer number
must be selected in the radio Ú page 234.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
F
EATURES
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on others. If
you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay close attention to the information in
this section. It tells you how to use your restraint
system properly, to keep you and your passengers
as safe as possible.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE453
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs
and additional information.
Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that have
experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced
immediately with another Run Flat tire of identical
size and service description (Load Index and
Speed Symbol). Replace the tire pressure sensor
as well as it is not designed to be reused.
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive
50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after a
rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid loss of
inflation is referred to as the Run Flat mode. A Run
Flat mode occurs when the tire inflation pressure is
of/or below 14 psi (96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire
reaches the Run Flat mode it has limited driving
capabilities and needs to be replaced immediately.
A Run Flat tire is not repairable. When a Run Flat
tire is changed after driving with underinflated tire
condition, please replace the TPMS sensor as it is
not designed to be reused when driven under Run
Flat mode 14 psi (96 kPa) condition.
NOTE:The TPMS Sensor must be replaced after driving
the vehicle on a flat tire condition. It is not recommended driving a vehicle loaded at
full capacity or to tow a trailer while a tire is in the
Run Flat mode.

page 328.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice conditions,
do not spin your vehicle's wheels above 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping.
For further information Ú page 389.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment
tires to help you in determining when your tires
should be replaced.

Tire Tread

These indicators are molded into the bottom of the
tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the
tread depth becomes a 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm).
When the tread is worn to the tread wear
indicators, the tire should be replaced.
For further information Ú page 454.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces
generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause tire damage or failure. A tire could
explode and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h)
for more than 30 seconds continuously when
you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
