Tire Pressure Monitor

Operation

This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tire pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tire
and wheel assembly. The TPMS
sensors monitor the air pressure in
the vehicle's tires and transmit the
tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
When a low tire pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tire pressure warning light
located on the instrument panel
cluster. If the warning light comes
on, stop as soon as possible and
inflate the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9 12.
A message to check the pressure in
a specific tire also appears on the
Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. The low tire pressure
warning light and the DIC warning
message come on at each ignition
Vehicle Care
cycle until the tires are inflated to
the correct inflation pressure. Using
the DIC, tire pressure levels can be
viewed by the driver. For additional
information and details about the
DIC operation and displays, see
Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page 5 22.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as you start to drive. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure in the tire(s) is getting
low and the tires need to be inflated
to the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information
label, attached to your vehicle,
shows the size of your vehicle's
original equipment tires and the
correct inflation pressure for your
vehicle's tires when they are cold.
See Vehicle Load Limits on
page 9 12, for an example of the
Tire and Loading Information label
and its location on your vehicle.
