CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment 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 equip-
ment that is not of the same size, type,
and/or style. The TPM sensor is not de-
signed 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 Sys-
tem (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-
able. 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, always reinstall the valve stem
CAUTION!
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Sensor.
NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal
tire care and maintenance, nor 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.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light."
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor
the actual tire pressure in the tire.
Base System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim-
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. 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 your tires regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
consists of the following components:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
A tire pressure monitoring sensor is located in
the spare wheel if the vehicle is equipped
with a matching full size spare wheel and tire
assembly. The matching full size spare tire
can be used in place of any of the four road
