Premium System - Jeep Automobile Owner's Manual

CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al-
ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the wheel rim sensor.
NOTE:
• The TPMS can inform the driver of a low tire pressure
condition.
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care
and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tire
failure or condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge
while adjusting your tire pressure.

Premium System

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) 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 wheel sensors
monitor tire pressure, and status for all four active road
tires and the spare tire. The spare tire pressure is moni-
tored, but not displayed.
NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the
tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.
The "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more
tire pressures is low. The "Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 10 to 60 seconds
