What to do in an emergency
"Drive to display" message dis-
plays. After driving, check the
tyre pressure.
You can change the tyre pressure
unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to "User
settings mode" on page 5-84.
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tyres of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pres-
sure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tyre pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your
tyres as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tyre causes the tyre to
overheat and can lead to tyre fail-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
fuel efficiency and tyre tread life,
and may affect the vehicle's han-
dling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre mainte-
nance, and it is the driver's respon-
sibility to maintain correct tyre
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illu-
mination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with
the low tyre pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
TPMS malfunction indicator remains
illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alter-
nate tyres or wheels on the vehicle
that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale after
