TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING INDICATOR LIGHT

The indicator light illuminates and a message is displayed to indicate
that the tire pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tire
duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the
display will show the indications corresponding to each tire in
sequence.
Note:
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as handling may
be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sudden braking and
steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit and
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
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.
What It Means What To Do
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as
handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,
avoiding sharp braking and steering. Immediately
restore the correct inflation pressure using the Tire
Repair Kit (refer to "Tire Repair Kit" in "In Case Of
Emergency") and contact an authorized dealer as
soon as possible.
