When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and

then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the

system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may

occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels

on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS

malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE:

Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change.

Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example:

If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C), and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold

tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every

12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures

and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable

system operation 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. Do not use

tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage

to the sensors may result.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle.

If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the

vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately

and call for service.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the

vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or

boiling coolant.
