Tire Pressure Monitor; Storing A Flat Tire - Pontiac 2008 Vibe Getting To Know Manual

Tire Pressure Monitor

(if equipped)
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle's
tires by illuminating the
Pressure) warning light on the instru-
ment panel. The low tire pressure warn-
ing light will remain on until you correct
the tire pressure.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire(s) to the
proper tire inflation pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they're cold. "Cold" means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than one mile.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive the vehicle. This
could be an early indicator that your tire
pressures are getting low and need to
be inflated to the proper pressure.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Place the flat tire on the rear cargo area
(Low Tire
floor panel and secure it with the tire tie-
down straps located under the cargo
floor panel. The proper tie-down strap
routing can be found in your Owner
Manual.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn't replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
