Instrument Panel Indicators
Low Tire Pressure
Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition to ON (II).
If it comes on while driving, it
indicates that one or more of your
vehicle's tires are extremely low on
pressure.
If this happens, pull to the side of the
road when it is safe, check which tire
has lost the pressure on the Tire
Pressure Monitor, and determine the
cause. If it is because of a flat tire,
replace the flat tire with the compact
spare (see page 231 ), and have the
flat tire repaired as soon as possible.
If two or more tires are underinflated,
call a professional towing service
(see page 244 ). Refer to page
178 for more information.

Instruments and Controls
Tire Pressure Monitor
The appropriate tire indicator will
come on along with the Low Tire
Pressure Indicator if a tire is
extremely under inflated or has
suddenly lost pressure. See Low Tire
Pressure Indicator for what to do if
this indicator comes on.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Indicator
This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition to ON (II).
If this indicator comes on and stays
on at any other time, or it does not
come on when you turn the ignition
switch to ON (II), there is a problem
with the TPMS. With this indicator
on, the low tire pressure indicator
and the tire pressure monitor will not
come on when a tire loses pressure.
Take the vehicle to your dealer to
have the system checked.
