Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire

correct tire pressure using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPM Telltale Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure,
and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in
the tire.

Premium System

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module. It is particularly impor-

your vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper pres-
sure. The TPMS consists of the following components:
• Receiver module
• Four TPM sensors
• Various TPMS messages which display in the Driver
