Base System

This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the

instrument cluster.

The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim

mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-

els. 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 check the

tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle regularly

and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver Module.
• Five Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will illumi-

nate in the instrument cluster, an audible chime will be

activated, and the “Check tire pressure” text message will

display when one or more of the four active road tire

pressures are low. Should this occur, you should stop as

soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of each tire

on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s

recommended cold placard pressure value. The system

will automatically update and the Tire Pressure Monitor-

ing Light will extinguish once the updated tire pressures

have been received. The vehicle may need to be driven

for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive

this information.
