NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may

need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (30 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in order

to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The system will automatically update and the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn off once the

system receives the updated tire pressures. The vehicle

may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph

(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this informa-

tion.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended

cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure

of 33 psi (227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F

(20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa),

a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire

pressure to approximately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire

pressure is low enough to turn ON the “Tire Pressure

Monitoring Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle may cause

the tire pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi (193 kPa),

but the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will still

be on. In this situation, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring

Telltale Light” will turn off only after the tires are inflated

to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure

value.
NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may

need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (30 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in order

to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
