low pressure warning threshold. The EVIC will display a
“Spare Low Pressure” text message, and the graphic
display will show a new tire pressure value in place of
the flashing low tire pressure value.

NOTE:

If your vehicle is equipped with a non-matching

full size spare tire, it does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, it will not be monitored by
the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). In the event
that the non-matching full size spare tire is swapped with
a low pressure road tire, every ignition key cycle will still
show the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to be
ON, a chime to sound, a Low Pressure message to appear
in the EVIC, and the graphic display will still show the
low tire pressure value flashing. After the original road
tire has been properly repaired and put back onto the
vehicle in place of the non-matching full size spare tire,
the TPMS will update the graphic display on the EVIC
with a new tire pressure value instead of the flashing low
tire pressure value, and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring

Telltale Light” will be OFF as long as none of the road
tire(s) are below the low pressure warning threshold. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have
been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement equip-
ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do
not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to
the sensors may result.
