Driving For Better Fuel Economy - Cadillac 2010 Escalade EXT Owner's Manual

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 7 66 and
Tire Pressure Monitor Operation on page 7 67.
