僅 You can check the tyre pressure in the
assist mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "User settings mode" on
page 5-56.
僅 Tyre pressure is displayed 1~2 min -
utes later after driving.
僅 If tyre pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, Drive to dis -

Each tyre, including the spare (if pro -
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tyre inflation pressure label.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

(If your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi -
cle placard or tyre inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper
tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi -
nates a low tyre pressure telltale when
one or more of your tyres is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi -
cantly under-inflated tyre causes the
tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre fail -
ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stop -
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a sub -
stitute for proper tyre maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tyre pressure, even if under-
inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operat -
ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tyre
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse -
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the TPMS mal -
function indicator remains illuminated
after blinking for approximately 1 min -
ute, the system may not be able to
