• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the ac-
tual tire pressure in the tire.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses
wireless technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. 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 the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver module
• Four tire pressure monitoring sensors
• Various tire pressure monitoring system mes-
sages, which display in the instrument cluster
• Tire pressure monitoring telltale light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light" will illuminate in the instrument
cluster and a chime will sound when
tire pressure is low in one or more of the four
active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display an "Inflate to XX" message
and a graphic showing the pressure values of
each tire with the low tire pressure values shown
in a different color.
Tire Pressure Monitor Display
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with a low pressure
condition (those shown in a different color in
the instrument cluster graphic) to the vehicle's
recommended cold placard pressure inflation
value as shown in the "Inflate to XX" message.
Once the system receives the updated tire pres-
sures, the system will automatically update, the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will
change color back to the original color, and the
TPM Telltale Light will turn off. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
