CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as

handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,

avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a tire puncture

occurs, repair immediately using the dedicated tire

repair kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon

as possible.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be

checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on

the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If

your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size

indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-

sure label, you should determine the proper tire infla-

tion pressure for those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire pres-

sure light when one or more of your tires is significantly

underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure

light illuminates, you should stop and check your tires

as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and

stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper

tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation

has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the

TPMS low tire pressure light.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS mal-

function indicator to indicate when the system is not

operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is

combined with the low tire pressure light. When the

system detects a malfunction, the light will flash for

approximately one minute and then remain continu-

ously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunc-

tion exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi-

nated, 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 prop-

erly. Always check the TPMS malfunction light 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.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equip-

ment 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 result when using replacement equip-

ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Using

aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoper-

able. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is rec-

ommended that you take your vehicle to an autho-

rized dealer to have your sensor function checked.
