CAUTION!

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always
reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent mois-
ture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the TPMS SENSOR.

NOTE:

• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care

and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire
failure or condition.

• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge

while adjusting your tire pressure.

• Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes

the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte-

nance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, using an accurate tire pressure
gage, even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS Warning Lamp.

NOTE:

Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire

pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire
pressure in the tire.

BASIC TPMS WITHOUT EVIC — IF EQUIPPED

The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. 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.
