QUICK TIPS
Even with TPMS, tire pressure
should be checked manually at
least once a month. Only adjust tire
pressure on "cold tires" that have
been sitting for approximately 20
minutes, and tires that are not hot
in temperature from direct sunlight
or heat
For proper maintenance and
optimal fuel economy, maintain
recommended tire inflation
pressures and stay within the
load limits and weight distribution
recommended for your vehicle
In winter or cold weather, the
TPMS light may illuminate if the
tire pressure was adjusted to
the recommended tire inflation
pressure during warm weather
