For example, if you check and fill
your tires in a warm area, then drive
in extremely cold weather, the tire
pressure will be lower than
measured and could be underinflated
and cause the low tire pressure/
TPMS indicator to come on. Or, if
you check and adjust your tire
pressure in cooler conditions, and
drive into extremely hot conditions,
the tires may become overinflated.
However, the low tire pressure/
TPMS indicator will not come on if
the tires are overinflated.

Refer to

page

for tire inflation

guidelines.

Although your tire pressure is
monitored, you must manually check
the tire pressures monthly.

Each tire, including the spare,
should be checked monthly
when the vehicle is cold, and set
to the recommended inflation
pressure as specified on the vehicle
placard and in the owner’s
manual (see

page

).

If there is a problem with the TPMS,
you will see the above message on
the multi-information display.

If you see this message, the system
is off and is not monitoring the tire
pressures. Have the system checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.

If there is a problem with the TPMS,
this indicator begins to flash. It stops
flashing after approximately 1
minute, then stays on. You will also
see a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’
message on the multi-information
display (see TPMS System Failure).
