warning limit, upon the next ignition switch
cycle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Light and a "LOW TIRE"
message will remain on and a chime will
sound. In addition, the graphic in the instru-
ment cluster will still display a pressure value
in a different color and an "Inflate to XX"
message.
After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPMS
SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (--) in place
of the pressure value.
For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a
chime will sound, the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System (TPMS) Warning Light will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid, and the instrument cluster will
display a "SERVICE TPMS SYSTEM" message
for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (--) in place of the pressure
value.
Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the non-matching full size spare or compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically. In
addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning Light will turn off and
the graphic in the instrument cluster will
display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (--), 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 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
Tire Fill Alert
This feature notifies the user when the placard
tire pressure is attained while inflating or
deflating the tire.
You may choose to disable or enable the Tire Fill
Alert feature through use of the Uconnect
Settings in the radio.
NOTE:
Only one tire can be filled at a time when
using the Tire Fill Alert system.
The Tire Fill Alert feature cannot be entered if
an existing TPMS fault is set to "active" or if
the system is in deactivation mode (if
equipped).
The system will be activated when a positive
increase in tire pressure is detected by the
TPMS while inflating the tire. The ignition must
be in the RUN mode, with the transmission in
PARK.
NOTE:
It is not required to have the engine running to
enter Tire Fill Alert mode.
The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the
vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode.
When Tire Fill Alert mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
If the hazard lamps do not come on while
inflating the tire, the TPMS sensor may be out of
range preventing the TPMS sensor signal from
being received. In this case, the vehicle may
need to be moved either forward or backward
slightly to exit the null spot.
