NOTE:

• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care

and maintenance or to provide warning of a tire failure

or condition.

• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge

while adjusting your tire pressure.

• Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and

stopping ability.

• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-

nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain

correct tire pressure using an accurate tire pressure

gauge, even if under-inflation has not reached the level

to trigger illumination of the “TPM Telltale Light.”

• 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,
