as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly.
NOTE: Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 231
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants
or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
For additional information on TPMS, refer to Section 5 —
Starting and Operating, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem" of this manual.
