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.
