LOOSE GAS CAP MESSAGE
•
If a loose gas cap symbol
"clicking" sound is heard.
•
If the symbol continues to appear for more than three days after
tightening the gas cap, see your dealer.
tire pressure MonitorinG sYsteM (tpMs)
•
A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a "low tire" message will display in
your instrument cluster, along with an audible chime, if one or more of your
vehicle's four road tires are significantly under-inflated.
•
Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended
pressure for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle
are found on the "Tire and Loading Information" label located on the driver's
side door opening. The TPMS light should not be used as a tire pressure
gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
•
It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when
tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your
vehicle. The light will turn off after your vehicle's tire pressures are properly
inflated and the pressure has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will
turn off.
•
Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light
to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is
normal and you should not adjust for this increased pressure.
•
Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle's fuel efficiency and tire
tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.
Refer to your Owner's Manual.
