• You can check the tire pressure in the
information mode on the cluster.
- Refer to User settings on page
5-58.
• Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 mi‐
nutes later after driving.
• If tire pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, Drive to dis‐
play message displays. After driving,
check the tire pressure.
• You can change the tire pressure unit
in the user settings mode on the
cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to User set‐
tings on page 5-58).
Each tire, including the spare (if provi‐
ded), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pres‐
sure recommended by the vehicle man‐
ufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi‐
cle placard or tire inflation pressure la‐
bel, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehi‐
cle has been equipped with a tire pres‐
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that il‐
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is sig‐
nificantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale illu‐
minates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and in‐
flate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle's han‐
dling and stopping ability.
