2. Installing some form of aftermarket win-
dow tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or
wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPM sensors.
Vehicles not equipped with instrument clus-
ter display will inform the driver which tire(s)
are low but not provide actual tire pressure.
The low tire ISO telltale will illuminate along
with "LoTIrE" message displayed in the ODO
and then it will scroll to which tire location is
lower than the Placard Value.
Tire location will be displayed as follows:
LF = Left Front
rF = right Front
Lr = Left rear
rr = right rear

NOTE:
• If your vehicle is equipped with a matching
full-size spare wheel and tire assembly, it
has a tire pressure monitoring sensor, and
can be monitored by the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) when swapped
with a low pressure road tire. In the event
that the matching full-size spare tire is
swapped with a low pressure road tire, the
next ignition key cycle will still show the
"Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" to
be ON, and a chime to sound. Driving the
vehicle for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) will turn OFF the "Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light" as long as none
of the road tires are below the low pressure
warning threshold.
• If your vehicle is not equipped with a
matching full-size spare wheel and tire as-
sembly, it does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor in the spare tire. The
TPMS will not be able to monitor the tire
pressure. If you install the spare tire in
place of a road tire that has a pressure
below the low-pressure warning limit, upon
the next ignition key cycle, a chime will
sound and the "Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light" will turn ON. After driving
the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h), the "Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light" will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. For each subsequent ignition key
cycle, a chime will sound and the "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid. Once you repair or replace
the original road tire, and reinstall it on the
vehicle in place of the spare tire, the TPMS
will update automatically and the "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will
turn OFF, as long as no tire pressure is
below the low-pressure warning limit in any
of the four active road tires. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
Premium System — If Equipped
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.
