CAUTION
The maximum trailer weights listed are only applicable for altitudes up to 3,280 ft(1000 m) above sea level. With increasingaltitude the engine power and therefore thecar's climbing ability are impaired because ofthe reduced air density, so the maximumtrailer weight has to be reduced accordingly.The weight of the vehicle and trailer must bereduced by 10% for every further 3,280 ft(1,000 m) (or part thereof). When towing5,000 lbs (2,250 kg) hill inclination is restric-ted to 14%.

WHEELS AND TIRES
468When the system detects a malfunction, the tell- tale will flash for approximately one minute andthen remain continuously illuminated. Thissequence will continue upon subsequent vehiclestart-ups as long as the malfunction exists. Whenthe malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys-tem may not be able to detect or signal low tirepressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacementor alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle thatprevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale afterreplacing one or more tires or wheels on yourvehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to con-tinue to function properly.
Messages in the instrument panel
When the TPMS symbol illuminates, the following text messages may also be displayed:
•
Tire pressure low
•Tire pressure system Temporarily
unavailable
•Tire pressure system Service required
If TPMS cannot determine which tire(s) have low inflation pressure:
• All four tires will be shown as affected in thecenter display After changing wheels, always calibrate the sys-tem to avoid false warnings. TPMS does not replace the need for regular tire inspection and maintenance.
NOTE
If you change to tires with a different dimen- sion than the factory-installed ones, theTPMS system must be calibrated for thesetires. TPMS cannot be turned off.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of thevehicle.
