the recommended cold tire pressure in order for the Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light to be turned off.
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 Pres-

sure 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 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 tempera-

ture 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.
