maximum inflation pressure molded
into the tire sidewall. Check "Tires –
General Information" in section 5 for
information on how to properly
inflate the tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as
the vehicle is driven - this is normal
and there is no adjustment required
when this occurs.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low
tire pressure if the tire pressure falls
below the low-pressure warning limit
for any reason, including low
temperature effects and natural
pressure loss of the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the
driver of low tire pressure as long as
the condition persists and will not turn
off until the tire pressure is equal or
above the recommended cold
inflation pressure. Once the low tire
pressure warning light illuminates,
you must increase the tire pressure to
the recommended cold inflation
pressure in order for the TPMS light
to turn off. The system will
automatically update and the TPMS
light will turn off once the system
acquires the correct tire pressure.
The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
acquire and process the updated
setting.
For example: Your vehicle (stationary
for more than three hours) may have a
recommended cold inflation pressure
of 30 PSI (2.1 bar). If the ambient
temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the
measured tire pressure is 27 PSI (1.8
bar), a temperature drop to 12°F (7°C)
will decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 23 PSI (1.6 bar). This
tire pressure is sufficiently low to turn
ON the TPMS Light . Driving the
vehicle may cause the tire pressure to
rise to approximately 27 PSI (1.8 bar),
but the TPMS light will stay lit. In
this situation, the TPMS light
turn OFF only after the tires are
inflated to the vehicle's recommended
cold inflation pressure value.
WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
will
from periodically checking the tires
and from complying with the
prescribed tire pressure levels.
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 operation or
sensor damage may occur when
using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or
Driving
