202 SAFETY
be on. In this situation, the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light will turn off only
after the tires are inflated to the vehicle's
recommended cold placard pressure value
Ú page 328.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need
to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa)
above the recommended cold placard pressure in
order to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light off.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original

equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may
result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
The TPMS sensor is not designed for use on
aftermarket wheels and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance or sensor
damage. Customers are encouraged to use
OEM wheels to ensure proper TPMS feature
operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an
aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended
that you take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer to have your sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure

always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the TPMS
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 underinflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
(Continued)
CAUTION!
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire

maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility
to maintain correct tire pressure using an accu-
rate tire pressure gauge, even if underinflation
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.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses
wireless technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor 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 monthly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
Receiver module

Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors

Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System

messages, which will display in the instrument
cluster display
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
