The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1

psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when

the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will

decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on

cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire

pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for more than

three hours - and in outside ambient temperature. Refer

to “Tires – General Information” in “Starting and
Operating” for information on how to properly inflate
the vehicle’s tires.

The tire pressure will also increase as

the vehicle is driven - this is normal and there should be

no adjustment for this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if

the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning

threshold for any reason, including low temperature

effects, or natural air pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire

pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn

off until the tire pressure is at or above recommended

cold tire placard pressure. Once the low tire pressure

warning has been illuminated, the tire pressure must be

increased to the recommended cold tire placard pressure

in order for the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”

to be turned off.
NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may

need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (30 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in order

to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The system will automatically update and the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will extinguish once

the updated tire pressures have been received.
NOTE:

The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20

minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this infor-

mation.
