27 psi (186 kPa), but the TPMS Warning Light
will still be on. In this situation, the TPMS
Warning Light will turn off only after the tires are
inflated to the vehicle's recommended cold
placard pressure value Ú page 348.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the orig-

inal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for
the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Unde-
sirable system operation or sensor damage
may result when using replacement equip-
ment that is not of the same size, type, and/
or style. The TPMS sensor is not designed for
use on aftermarket wheels and may
contribute to a poor overall system perfor-
mance or sensor damage. Customers are
encouraged to use OEM wheels to ensure
proper TPMS feature operation.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause

the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.
CAUTION! (Continued)
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres-

sure always reinstall the valve stem cap.
This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace normal

tire care and maintenance or to provide
warning of a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pres-

sure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure,
unless your vehicle is equipped with a Tire Fill
Alert (TFA) system.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
(Continued)
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire

maintenance, and it is the driver's responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pressure using
an accurate tire pressure gauge, even if
underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS Warning
Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect

tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the
actual tire pressure in the tire.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring 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 the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.
