Driving
aftermarket tire sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped with
a TPMS, as damage to the sensors
may result.
The system can temporarily
experience radio-electric interference
emitted by devices using similar
frequencies.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem and damage the TPMS internal
sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving on a significantly
5
underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and may lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure using
an accurate tire pressure gauge, even
if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the
TPMS light
.

• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS
will monitor the actual tire pressure
in the tire.
Premium System
The TPMS system 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.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which display
on the instrument cluster;
• warning light
.
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light
will illuminate in
the instrument cluster and an acoustic
signal will notify that tire pressure is
low in one or more of the four tires.
The instrument cluster will also display
a screenshot reporting the pressure
values of each tire with flashing low
pressure value.
Should this occur, you should stop
as soon as possible and inflate the
tire/s with the low pressure (the
one/s flashing in the instrument
cluster graphic) to the recommended
cold pressure inflation value. Once
the system receives the updated
tire pressure value, the system will
