Tire pressure MoniToring sysTeM (TpMs)

Monitoring Light will illuminate and an audible chime will sound.
• Check the inflation pressure of each road tire on your vehicle and
inflate to the recommended cold pressure value, shown on the placard
located in the driver’s door opening. The TPMS display should not be
used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
• The light will turn off once the updated tire pressure has been
recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes
above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off.
• Temperature changes can affect tire pressures, causing the TPMS light
to turn on. Colder temperatures will decrease tire pressure and
warmer temperatures will increase tire pressure.
• If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.
