Tire Fill Alert
This feature notifies the user when the placard
tire pressure is attained while inflating or
deflating the tire.
The customer may choose to disable or enable
the Tire Fill Alert feature in the apps menu of the
Uconnect system.
NOTE:
Only one tire can be filled at a time when
using the Tire Fill Alert system.
The Tire Fill Alert feature cannot be entered if
an existing TPM system fault is set to "active"
or if the system is in deactivation mode (if
equipped).
The system will be activated when the system
detects an increase in tire pressure while filling
the tire. The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode
with the transmission in PARK for vehicles
equipped with an Automatic Transmission. For
vehicles equipped with a Manual Transmission,
the park brake must be applied.
NOTE:
It is not required to have the engine running to
enter Tire Fill Alert mode.
The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the
vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode. If the hazard
lamps do not come on while inflating the tire,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM) sensor may
be in an inoperative position, preventing the
TPM sensor signal from being received. In this
case, the vehicle may need to be moved slightly
forward or backward.
When Tire Fill Alert mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Operation:
The horn will chirp once to let the user know
when to stop filling the tire, when it reaches
recommended pressure.
The horn will chirp three times if the tire is
over filled and will continue to chirp every five
seconds if the user continues to inflate the
tire.
The horn will chirp once again when enough
air is let out to reach proper inflation level.
The horn will also chirp three times if the tire
is then under-inflated and will continue to
chirp every five seconds if the user continues
to deflate the tire.
Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA) — If Equipped
STFA is an optional feature that is included as
part of the normal Tire Fill Alert system. The
system is designed to allow you to select a
pressure to inflate or deflate the vehicle's front
and rear axle tires to, and to provide feedback
while inflating or deflating the vehicle's tires.
In the Selectable Tire Fill Alert application,
which is located in the apps menu of the
Uconnect system, you will be able to select a
pressure setting for both the front and rear axle
tire pressures by scrolling through a pressure
range from XX to 15 psi in 1 psi increments for
each axle setting.
XX = the vehicle's cold placard pressure values
for the front and rear axles as shown on the
vehicle placard pressure label.
You may also store pressure values chosen for
each axle in the Uconnect system application as
preset pressure values. Up to two sets of preset
pressure values can be stored in the Uconnect
system for the front and rear axle. Once you
select the tire pressures for the front and rear
axles that you want to inflate or deflate to, you
can begin inflating or deflating one tire at a
time.
