minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure 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. 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.
WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
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 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.
• The system can temporarily experience
radio-electric interference emitted by
devices using similar frequencies.
•
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem
and damage the TPMS internal sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and
may lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
Understanding the Vehicle
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure using an accurate tire
pressure gauge, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS light
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.
Premium System
The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which display
on the instrument cluster;
• warning light .
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and an acoustic signal
will notify that tire pressure is low in one
or more of the four tires.
