The low tire pressure warning symbol on the
instrument panel cluster and the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE warning message on the DIC display
will appear at each ignition cycle until the tires are
inflated to the correct inflation pressure. For
additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays see DIC Operation and
Displays (With DIC Buttons) on page 262 or DIC
Operation and Displays (Without DIC Buttons) on
page 269 and DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 272.
You may notice, during cooler weather conditions,
that the tire pressure monitor light, located on
the instrument panel cluster, and the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message will 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 the tire pressures are getting low and
need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the
520
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires
as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
As an added safety
feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with
a tire pressure
monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure
telltale when one
or more of your tires is
significantly
under-inflated.
