Tyre Pressure Monitor

Operation

This vehicle may have a Tyre
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tyre pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly on your vehicle. The
TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit
the tyre pressure readings to a
receiver located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tyre pressure warning light,
located in the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop
as soon as possible and inflate the
tyres to the recommended pressure
shown on the tyre loading
information label. See Vehicle Load
Limits 0 168.
A message to check the pressure in
a specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low
tyre pressure warning light and the
DIC warning message appear at
each ignition cycle until the tyres
are inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tyre
pressure levels can be viewed. For
additional information and details
about the DIC operation and
displays see Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 0 119.
Vehicle Care
The low tyre pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
A Tyre and Loading Information
label shows the size of the original
equipment tyres and the correct
inflation pressure for the tyres when
they are cold. See Vehicle Load
Limits 0 168, for an example of the
Tyre and Loading Information label
and its location. Also see Tyre
Pressure 0 258 for additional
information.
The TPMS can warn about a low
tyre pressure condition but it does
not replace normal tyre
maintenance. See Tyre Inspection
0 263, Tyre Rotation 0 263, When It
Is Time for New Tyres 0 264 and
Tyres 0 251.
