Tyre Pressure Light; Diesel Particulate Filter - Chevrolet 2012 Malibu Owner's Manual

The fast warm-up glow plug system
makes the wait-to-start light stay on
for a shorter amount of time than
most diesel engines.
For more information, see Starting
the Engine on page 8‑18.

Tyre Pressure Light

For vehicles with the Tyre Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light
comes on briefly when the engine is
started. It provides information
about tyre pressures and the TPMS.
When the Light Is On Steady
This indicates that one or more of
the tyres are significantly
under-inflated.
A Driver Information Centre (DIC)
tyre pressure message may also
display. See Tyre Messages on
page 4‑41. Stop as soon as
possible, and inflate the tyres to
the pressure value shown on the
Tyre and Loading Information label.
See Tyre Pressure on page 9‑45.
When the Light Flashes First and
Then Is On Steady
If the light flashes for about a minute
and then stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPMS. If the
problem is not corrected, the light
will come on at every ignition cycle.
See Tyre Pressure Monitor
Operation on page 9‑47.
