SAFETY
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.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
Receiver Module.
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System
sensors.
Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
messages, which will display in the instru-
ment cluster display.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and a chime will
sound when tire pressure is low in one
or more of the four active road tires. In addition,
the instrument cluster will display a "Tire Low"
message and a graphic showing the pressure
values of each tire with the low tire pressure
values highlighted or in a different color.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warning
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with low pressure
(those highlighted or in a different color in the
instrument cluster display graphic) to the
vehicle's recommended cold placard pressure
value. Once the system receives the updated
tire pressures, the system will automatically
update, the pressure values in the graphic
display in the instrument cluster will stop being
highlighted or return to their original color, and
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light will turn off.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may
need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi
(28 kPa) above the recommended cold placard
pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System Warning Light off.
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order
for the TPMS to receive this information.
Service TPMS Warning

Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
