Tire Pressure Monitor
1-22
t
until
The Tire Pressure Monitor
alerts you when a
significant reduction in
pressure occurs in one or
more of the vehicle's tires
by illuminating the low tire
pressure warning light on
the instrument cluster.
The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected. The proper tire pressures for your vehicle are
listed on the Tire and Loading Information label located
on the driver side center pillar (B pillar). See Loading the
Vehicle on page 5-20.
You may notice during cooler conditions that the low tire
pressure warning light will appear when the vehicle is
first started and then turn off as you drive. This may be an
early indicator that your tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low
tire pressure, but it does not replace normal monthly tire
maintenance. It is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System on page 6-58 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 6-59.

This vehicle may come with a jack and spare tire or a
tire sealant and compressor kit. The kit can be used
to seal small punctures in the tread area of the tire.
