CAUTION!
market tire sealant it is recommended that
you take your vehicle to an authorized
dealership to have your sensor function
checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres-
sure, always reinstall the valve stem cap.This
will prevent moisture and dirt from entering
the valve stem, which could damage the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Sensor.
NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire
care and maintenance, or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
• Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle' s handling and stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver' s responsibility
to maintain correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire gauge, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
TPM System With Comfort Cluster
This is the TPMS warning indicator lo-
cated in the instrument cluster.
The TPMS uses wireless technology with
wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to moni-
tor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver Module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the
tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
regularly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
• Text Message Display
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warn-
ings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster, an
audible chime will be activated, and the "Low
inflation pressure left or right front/rear tire" text
message will display when one or more of the
four active road tire pressures are low. Should this
occur, you should stop as soon as possible, check
the inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle,
and inflate each tire to the vehicle' s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The system
will automatically update and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Light will extinguish once the updated
tire pressures have been received. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this informa-
tion.
TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
