up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
Premium System — If Equipped
The 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 your tires regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of
components:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Three Trigger Modules (mounted in three of
the four wheel wells)
196
• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Messages, which display in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more
of the four active road tire pressures are low.
The audible chime will sound once every igni-
tion cycle for the first condition that it detects. In
addition, the EVIC will display a "LOW TIRE"
text message for a minimum of five seconds
and a graphic of the pressure value(s) with the
low tire(s) flashing.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Display
Should a low tire condition occur on any of the
four active road tire(s), you should stop as soon
as possible and inflate all tires that are flashing
on the graphic display to the vehicle's recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The sys-
tem will automatically update, the "LOW TIRE"
text message will no longer be displayed, the
graphic display of the pressure value(s) will stop
flashing, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
will extinguish once the updated tire pressure(s)
have been received. The vehicle may need to
be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) to receive this information.
