the tire pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi (193 kPa),
but the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will still
be on. In this situation, the "Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light" will turn off only after the tires are inflated
to the vehicle's recommended cold placard pressure value.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the original equip-
ment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings
have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage
may result when using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or style. The TPM sensor
is not designed for use on aftermarket wheels and may
contribute to a poor overall system performance or
sensor damage. Customers are encouraged to use OEM
wheels to assure proper TPM feature operation.
• Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to be-
come inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take your vehicle
to an authorized dealership to have your sensor
function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al-
ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Sensor.
NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or
condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge
while adjusting your tire 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.
