• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure,

and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in
the tire.

Premium System

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. 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 monthly
and to maintain the proper pressure.

The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver module,
• Four TPM sensors,

• Various TPMS messages, which display in the Elec-

tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), and

• TPM Telltale Light
The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly
(if equipped) has a TPM sensor. The full size spare can be
used in place of any of the four road tires. A spare with a
pressure below the low-pressure limit will not cause the
TPM Telltale Light to illuminate or the chime to sound.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings

The TPM Telltale Light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and a chime will sound when
tire pressure is low in one or more of the four

active road tires. In addition, the EVIC will display a

ЉLOW TIREЉ message and a graphic showing the pres-
sure values of each tire with the low tire pressure values
flashing or changing color. An

ЉInflate to XXЉ message

will also be displayed.
