When the TPMS warning indicators
appear, one or more of your tires is sig-
nificantly under-inflated.
OON042146
A: Low tire pressure
If the telltale appears, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping dis-
tances. You should stop and check your
tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle's placard or tire
inflation pressure label located on the
driver's side center pillar outer panel. If
you cannot reach a service station or if
the tire cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with the
spare tire.
Then the TPMS malfunction indicator
and the Low Tire Pressure telltale may
turn on and appear after restarting and
about 20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
In winter or cold weather, the low tire
pressure telltale may appear if the tire
pressure was adjusted to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure in warm

weather. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional low-
ering of tire pressure.
You should check the tire inflation pres-
sure and adjust the tires to the recom-
mended tire inflation pressure when
driving your vehicle in the following con-
ditions.
僅 from a warm area to a cold area

僅 the outside temperature is extremely
high or low
When filling tires with more air, condi-
tions to turn off the low tire pressure tell-
tale may not be met. This is because a
tire inflator has a margin of error in per-
formance. The low tire pressure telltale
will be turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Do not drive on low pressure tires. Sig-
nificantly low tire pressure can cause the
tires to overheat and fail making the
vehicle unstable resulting in increased
braking distances and a loss of vehicle
control.
TPMS malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will illumi-
nate after it blinks for approximately one
minute when there is a problem with the
TPMS.
If the system is able to correctly detect
an underinflation warning at the same
time as system failure, it will illuminate
both the TPMS malfunction and the low
tire pressure position telltales. For exam-
ple, if the Front Left sensor fails, the
