Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on

and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when a system

fault is detected, an audible chime will be activated and

a proper text message will be displayed. If the ignition

key is cycled, this sequence will repeat providing the

system fault still exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring

Telltale Light will turn off when the fault condition no

longer exists. A system fault can occur with any of the

following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to

facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the

TPM sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting

that affects radio wave signals.

3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE:

Your vehicle can be equipped with either Tire

Service Kit, compact spare tire or regular size spare tire

(with or without original TPMS sensor).
1. Tire Service Kit (original tire sealant – if equipped):

After fixing the punctured tire with original tire seal-

ant, the original situation will be restored, so system

will turn off the telltale during the normal drive.

2. Compact Spare Tire – if equipped: The compact spare

wheel is not equipped with TPMS sensor. So when

mounted, during the normal drive the system will

turn on the telltale (flashing for approximately 75 sec.

then remains solid). This condition persists until a

wheel equipped with original TPMS sensor has been

mounted on the vehicle.
