The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes

above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive

this information.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended

cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure

of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F

(20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa),

a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire

pressure to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa). This tire

pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn ON the “TPM

Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle may cause the tire

pressure to rise to approximately 27 psi (186 kPa), but the

“TPM Telltale Light” will still be ON. In this situation, the

“TPM Telltale Light” will turn OFF only after the tires are

inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pres-

sure value.

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 op-
eration 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 aftermarket tire sealants
or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure,

always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage the TPM sensor.
