Customer Action Required
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 description on
how the system functions, refer
to When your temporary spare
tire is installed in this section.
If your tires are properly inflated
and your spare tire is not in use
and the light remains ON, have
the system inspected by your
authorized dealer.
