Tire Pressure Monitor System — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses wireless
technology to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the over-
head console.
The tire pressure is shown in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) display. The TPM system
remains active even if it is not displayed in the EVIC.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 89
CAUTION!
The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire
pressure and will not function as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting the pressure in your tires.
There will be a delay between the instant you adjust
the air pressure in a tire and when the system
updates the display.
NOTE: The TPM system can inform you about a low or
high tire pressure condition, but it does not replace
normal tire maintenance. The TPM system is not in-
tended to provide you with notification of rapid pressure
loss.
1. If any tire pressure has exceeded the low or high
pressure (refer to "Starting and Operating, Tires Sec-
tion"), the TPM system will display a message in the
EVIC and sound a chime. It will then go into the tire
pressure display screen and flash the pressure value of
the tire that is low or high. This will be displayed for the
rest of the ignition cycle, or until either the C/T, MENU,
STEP, or RESET button is pressed.
