Base System — If Equipped
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 your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) consists of the
following components:

• Receiver Module
• 4 Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

A tire pressure monitoring sensor is located in the spare
wheel if the vehicle is equipped with a matching full size

spare wheel and tire assembly. The matching full size
spare tire can be used in place of any of the four road
tires.

The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more of

the four active road tire pressures are low. The audible
chime will sound once every ignition cycle for each
condition that it detects. Should this occur, you should
stop as soon as possible, check the inflation pressure of
each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the
vehicle’s recommended cold tire pressure. The system
will automatically update, and the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Light” will extinguish once the updated tire pres-
sures have been received. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to
receive this information. A low spare tire will not cause
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to illumi-
nate or the chime to sound.
