Jeep 2010 Commander - Owner Manual - Manual (Page 308)

• If your vehicle is not equipped with a matching
full-size spare wheel and tire assembly, it does not
have a tire pressure monitoring sensor in the spare tire.
The TPMS will not be able to monitor the tire pressure.
If you install the spare tire, in place of a road tire, that
has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit,
upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, a
“TIRE LOW PRESSURE” message will be displayed in
the instrument cluster for 60 seconds, and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn ON. After
driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(25 km/h), the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. In addition, a “CHECK TPM SYSTEM” message
will be displayed for 75 seconds. For each subsequent
ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, a “CHECK
TPM SYSTEM” message will be displayed for 75 sec-
onds, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. Once you repair or replace the original road tire,
and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the spare tire,
the TPMS will update automatically and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn OFF, as
long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
Premium System — If Equipped
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.
NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to regularly
check the tire pressure in all of your tires and to maintain
the proper pressure.
