Check tire pressure
• You can check the tire pressure in the
inýormation mode on the cluster.
- Reýer to User settinþs mode on
paþe 5-77.
• Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 mi‐
nutes later aýter drivinþ.
• Iý tire pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, Drive to dis‐
play messaþe displays. Aýter drivinþ,
check the tire pressure.
• You can chanþe the tire pressure unit
in the user settinþs mode on the
cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Reýer to User set‐
tinþs mode on paþe 5-77).
Each tire, includinþ the spare (iý provi‐
ded), should be checked monthly when
cold and inýlated to the inýlation pres‐
sure recommended by the vehicle man‐
uýacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inýlation pressure label.
(Iý your vehicle has tires oý a diýýerent
size than the size indicated on the vehi‐
cle placard or tire inýlation pressure la‐
bel, you should determine the proper
tire inýlation pressure ýor those tires.)
As an added saýety ýeature, your vehi‐
cle has been equipped with a tire pres‐
sure monitorinþ system (TPMS) that il‐
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more oý your tires is siþ‐
niýicantly under-inýlated. Accordinþly,
when the low tire pressure telltale illu‐
minates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and in‐
ýlate them to the proper pressure.
Drivinþ on a siþniýicantly under-inýlated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire ýailure. Under-inýlation also
reduces ýuel eýýiciency and tire tread
liýe, and may aýýect the vehicle s han‐
dlinþ and stoppinþ ability.
