Tyre Pressure Monitor; Operation - Cadillac 2015 SRX Owner's Manual

10-46 Vehicle Care
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Tyre Pressure Monitor

Operation

This vehicle may have a Tyre
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tyre pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tyre
and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in
the tyres and transmits the tyre
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tyre pressure warning light
on the instrument cluster. If the
warning light comes on, stop as
soon as possible and inflate the
tyres to the recommended pressure
shown on the Tyre and Loading
Information label. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9-8.
A message to check the pressure in
a specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low
tyre pressure warning light and the
DIC warning message come on at
each ignition cycle until the tyres
are inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tyre
pressure levels can be viewed. For
additional information and details
about the DIC operation and
displays see Driver Information
Centre (DIC) on page 5-26.
The low tyre pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
A Tyre and Loading Information
label, attached to your vehicle,
shows the size of the original
equipment tyres and the correct
inflation pressure for the tyres when
they are cold. See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9-8, for an example
of the Tyre and Loading Information
label and its location. Also see Tyre
Pressure on page 10-43.
