pressure monitor only functions if the correct

sensors are installed on all wheels.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow warn-

ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indicat-

ing pressure loss/malfunctions (USA) or

pressure loss (Canada). Whether the warning

lamp flashes or lights up indicates whether a

tire pressure is too low or the tire pressure

monitor is malfunctioning:

R

if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the

tire pressure on one or more tires is signif-

icantly too low. The tire pressure monitor is

not malfunctioning.

R

USA only: if the warning lamp flashes for

around a minute and then remains lit con-

stantly, the tire pressure monitor is mal-

functioning.

Information on tire pressures is displayed in

the multifunction display. After a few minutes

of driving, the current tire pressure of each

tire is shown in the multifunction display.
USA only: the tire pressure warning lamp will

inform you of a malfunction in the tire pres-

sure monitor by flashing for approximately

one minute and then remaining lit. It may take

more than ten minutes before the data menu

is displayed. When the malfunction has been

rectified, the tire pressure warning lamp goes

out after a few minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-

board computer may differ from those meas-

ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge.

The tire pressures shown by the on-board

computer refer to those measured at sea

level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure val-

ues indicated by a pressure gauge are higher

than those shown by the on-board computer.

In this case, do not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can

be affected by interference from radio trans-

mitting equipment (e.g. radio headphones,

two-way radios) that may be being operated

in or near the vehicle.
