four active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a low pressure text message
and a graphic showing the low tire pressure tire
highlighted in a different color.
Low Tire Indicator
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pressure to
the vehicle' s recommended cold placard pressure
value. Once the system receives the updated tire
pressures, the system will automatically update
and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will turn off. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.The
system fault will sound a chime and also display a
"Service Tire Pressure Monitoring System" mes-
sage in the instrument cluster for approximately
5 seconds.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will
repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the
system fault no longer exists, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will no longer
flash, and the "Service Tire Pressure Monitoring
System" message will no longer display.
A system fault can occur due to any of the
following:
1. Signal interference due to electronic devices
or driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPM sensors.
2. Installing aftermarket window tinting that con-
tains materials that may block radio wave
signals.
3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the
wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors.
NOTE:
• The TPMS will not monitor the pressure in a
replacement tire installed without a tire pres-
sure sensor.
• If you install a replacement tire in place of a road
tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition switch
cycle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will remain on and a chime will
sound. In addition, the graphic in the instrument
cluster will still display a low pressure message
and a tire highlighted in a different color.
