Tyre pressure monitoring
system
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tyre failure that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent.
Each tyre, including the spare (if provid-
ed), should be checked monthly when
cold and inflated to the inflation pres-
sure recommended by the vehicle man-
ufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle
has tyres of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or
tyre inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tyre inflation pres-
sure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehi-
cle has been equipped with a tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale
when one or more of your tyres is sig-
nificantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tyre pressure telltale illu-
minates, 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 failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stop-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a sub-
stitute for proper tyre maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to main-
tain correct tyre pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination 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 operat-
ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tyre
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for about one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, 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 functioning
properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tyres
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
