The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire

pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn

off until the tire pressure is at or above recommended

cold tire placard pressure. Once the low tire pressure

warning has been illuminated, the tire pressure must be

increased to the recommended cold tire pressure in order

for the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light to be

turned off. The system will automatically update and the

Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will extinguish

once the updated tire pressures have been received. The

vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above

15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information.

For example, your vehicle has a recommended cold

(parked for more than three hours) tire 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 sufficiently 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 have been inflated to the vehicle’s recommended

cold tire pressure value.
