WA R N I N G
As an added safety feature, your 
vehicle has been equipped with a 
tire pressure m onitoring system 
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illumina tes a low tire 
pressure telltale (tire pressure 
warning light) when one or more 
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the 
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates, 
you should stop and check your 
tires as soon as possible, and 
inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly 
under-inflated tire causes the tire 
to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure. Under-inflation also 
reduces fuel efficiency and tire 
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire 
pressure warning system) is not a 
substitute for pro per tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s 
responsibility to m aintain correct 
tire pressure, eve n if under-infla-
tion has not reach ed the level to 
trigger illuminatio n of the TPMS 
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been 
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. 
The TPMS (tire pressure warning 
system) malfunction indicator is 
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning 
light). When the  system detects a 
malfunction, the te lltale will flash 
for approximately one minute and 
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle 
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is illu minated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or 
signal low tire pressure as 
intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
t em ) m alf un ctio n s m a y o cc ur  f or  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 functioning properly. Always 
check the TPMS (tire pressure 
warning system) malfunction tell-
tale 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 (vehicles with tire 
pressure warning system)
Do not install tires with different 
specifications or manufacturers 
as the tire pressure warning sys-
tem may not operate properly.
