Dodge 2016 Grand Caravan Owner's Manual page 539

For example, your vehicle may have a recommended
cold (parked for more than three hours) tire placard
pressure of 35 psi (241 kPa). If the ambient temperature is
68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 30 psi (207
kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the
tire pressure to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa). This tire
pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn on the "Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light." Driving the vehicle
may cause the tire pressure to rise to approximately 30
psi (207 kPa), but the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light" will still be on. In this situation, the "Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light" will turn off only after the tires
have been inflated to the vehicle's recommended cold tire
placard pressure value.
STARTING AND OPERATING 537
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warnings have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system op-
eration or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an after-
market tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have
your sensor function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al-
ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent
moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem,
which could damage the TPMS sensor.
