Reactivate the TPMS after adjusting
the tire inflation pressure to the infla-
tion pressure recommended for the
vehicle operating condition. Tire pres-
sure should only be adjusted on cold
tires. Observe the recommended tire
inflation pressure on the placard on the
driver’s door B-pillar (
Some vehicles may have supplemental
tire pressure information for driving at
high speeds (
page 364) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition (
page 364). If such
information is provided, it can be found
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

The Advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring
System* (Advanced TPMS*) is
equipped with a combination low tire
pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale in
the instrument cluster (
page 24). De-
pending on how the telltale illuminates,
it indicates a low tire pressure condi-
tion or a malfunction in the TPMS sys-
tem itself:
ț
If the telltale illuminates continu-
ously, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. There is
no malfunction in the TPMS.
ț
If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds
and then stays illuminated, the
TPMS system itself is not operating
properly.
