TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the

driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recom-

mended cold placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1

psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when

the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will

decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on

cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire

pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least

three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a

three hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure must

not exceed the maximum inflation pressure molded into

the tire sidewall. Refer to “Tires – General Information”

in “Starting and Operating” for information on how to

properly inflate the vehicle’s tires. The tire pressure will

also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal and

there should be no adjustment for this increased pres-

sure.
