Vehicle Care
If the turn signal lamp does not flash within
15 seconds after starting to inflate the tire,
the tire fill alert has not been activated or is
not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on, the
tire fill alert visual feedback will not work
properly.
The TPMS will not activate the tire fill alert
properly under the following conditions:
There is interference from an external
device or transmitter.
The air pressure from the inflation device
is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
There is a malfunction in the horn or turn
signal lamps.
The identification code of the TPMS
sensor is not registered to the system.
The battery of the TPMS sensor is low.
If the tire fill alert does not operate due to
TPMS interference, move the vehicle about
1 m (3 ft) back or forward and try again.
If the tire fill alert feature is not working,
use a tire pressure gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process
Learn Function
Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification code
needs to be matched to a new tire/wheel
position after rotating the tires or replacing
one or more of the TPMS sensors. When a
tire is installed, the vehicle must be
stationary for about 20 minutes before the
system recalculates. The following relearn
process takes up to 10 minutes, driving at a
minimum speed of 20 km/h (12 mph).
A dash (-) or pressure value will display in
the DIC. See Driver Information Center (DIC)
0 92. A warning message displays in the DIC
if a problem occurs during the relearn
process.

Tire Inspection

We recommend that the tires, including
the spare tire, if the vehicle has one, be
inspected for signs of wear or damage
at least once a month.
Replace the tire if:
The indicators at three or more
places around the tire can be seen.
There is cord or fabric showing
Auto
through the tire's rubber.
The tread or sidewall is cracked, cut,
or snagged deep enough to show
cord or fabric.
The tire has a bump, bulge, or split.
The tire has a puncture, cut, or other
damage that cannot be repaired well
because of the size or location of the
damage.

Tire Rotation

The tires should be rotated every
12 000 km (7,500 mi). See Maintenance
Schedule 0 293.
Tires are rotated to achieve uniform
wear for all tires. The first rotation is
the most important.
Anytime unusual wear is noticed, rotate
the tires as soon as possible, check for
proper tire inflation pressure, and check
for damaged tires or wheels. If the
unusual wear continues after the
rotation, check the wheel alignment.
