Tire Pressure Monitor System

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses radio

and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels. The

TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in your

vehicle’s tires and transmit tire pressure readings to a

receiver located in the vehicle.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be

checked monthly when cold and inﬂated to the inﬂation

pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer

on the vehicle placard or tire inﬂation pressure label. (If

your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size

indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inﬂation pressure

label, you should determine the proper tire inﬂation

pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one

or more of your tires is signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale

illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as

soon as possible, and inﬂate them to the proper

pressure. 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 vehicle’s handling

and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS 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 illumination of the

TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS

malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not

operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator

is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the

system detects a malfunction, the telltale will ﬂash for

approximately one minute and then remain continuously

illuminated. This sequence will continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction

exists.
