What to do in an emergency
Tire Pressure Indicator
• You can check the tire pressure in
the assist mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "User settings mode"
on page 4-54.
• Tire pressure is displayed 1~2
minutes later after driving.
• If tire pressure is not displayed
when the vehicle is stopped,
"Drive to display" message dis -
plays. After driving, check the tire
pressure.
• You can change the tire pressure
unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User
settings mode" on page 4-54).
NOTICE

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Effective Use of the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if pro -
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the infla -
tion pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a differ -
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should deter -
mine the proper tire inflation pres -
sure for those tires.)
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. 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 vehi -
cle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte -
nance, and it is the driver's respon -
sibility to maintain correct tire
