Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
This vehicle may have a Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS). The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when
a low tire pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tire and wheel assembly, excluding
the spare tire and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in the tires and transmits the
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
When a low tire pressure
condition is detected, the
TPMS illuminates the low
tire pressure warning light
located on the instrument
cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop as soon as possible
and inflate the tires to the recommended pressure
shown on the tire loading information label. See
Loading the Vehicle on page 5‑18.
A message to check the pressure in a specific tire
displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC). The
low tire pressure warning light and the DIC warning
message come on at each ignition cycle until the tires
are inflated to the correct inflation pressure. Using the
DIC, tire pressure levels can be viewed by the driver.
For additional information and details about the DIC
operation and displays see DIC Operation and Displays
on page 4‑58 and DIC Warnings and Messages on
page 4‑62.
The low tire pressure warning light may come on in cool
weather when the vehicle is first started, and then turn
off as the vehicle is driven. This could be an early
indicator that the air pressure is getting low and needs
to be inflated to the proper pressure.
A Tire and Loading Information label shows the size of
the original equipment tires and the correct inflation
pressure for the tires when they are cold. See Loading
the Vehicle on page 5‑18, for an example of the Tire
and Loading Information label and its location on your
vehicle. Also see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6‑57.
