Tire Pressure Monitor; Resetting The Oil Life System - Chevrolet 2008 Malibu Getting To Know Your

Tire Pressure Monitor

The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pres-
sure occurs in one or more of your
vehicle's tires by illuminating the
(Low Tire Pressure) warning light on the
instrument panel cluster. The low tire
pressure warning light will remain on
until you correct the tire pressure. A
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message will
also appear on the DIC.
• To view the tire pressures on the
DIC, press the INFO button until the
current tire pressures are displayed;
left front (LF), for example, is the
driver's side front tire.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning
light illuminates, you must fill the tire
to the proper tire pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label, located
on the center pillar below the driver's
door latch, shows the correct tire pres-
sure 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.
You can temporarily clear the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
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. This
could be an early indicator that your
tire pressures are getting low and need
to be inflated to the proper pressure.
PERFORMANCE & MAINTENANCE FEATURES
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but it
doesn't replace normal monthly tire
maintenance.
