1. Check your tire pressure to
ensure tires are properly inflated;
refer to Inflating your tires in this
chapter.
2. After inflating your tires to the
manufacturer's recommended
inflation pressure as shown on the
Tire Label (located on the edge of
driver's door or the B-Pillar), the
vehicle must be driven for at least
two minutes over 20 mph (32 km/h)
before the light will turn off.
Your temporary spare tire is in use.
Repair the damaged road wheel/tire
and reinstall it on the vehicle to
restore system functionality. For a

functions, refer to When your
temporary spare tire is installed

If your tires are properly inflated
and your spare tire is not in use
and the light remains on, contact
your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
