Reinflating tires equipped with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
When low tire pressure has been detected, a
message will be displayed in the instrument
panel and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
symbol will illuminate.
Symbol Explanation
Check and reinflate the tire(s)
when the TPMS symbol illuminates
and a message is displayed.
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the infla-
tion pressure of the under-inflated tire(s).
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure
(consult the tire pressure placard located on
the driver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-
ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of
the driver's door opening).
3. In some cases, it may be necessary to drive
the vehicle for several minutes at a speed of
at least 20 mph (30 km/h) to erase the
TPMS telltale warning and the text message.
Please be aware that the TPMS telltale
warning will not go out until the low tire pres-
sure has been corrected.
WHEELS AND TIRES
NOTE
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure,
if possible only inflate the tires when they are
cold. The tires are considered to be cold
when they have the same temperature as the
surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is
normally reached after the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours. After driving a dis-
tance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the
tires are considered to be warm.
CAUTION
When inflating tires with TPMS sensors, press
the pump's mouthpiece straight onto the
valve to help avoid bending or otherwise dam-
aging the valve.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
