• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure,

and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in

the tire.

Base System — If Equipped

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless

technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to

monitor tire pressure levels. 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 the tires on your vehicle monthly

and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver module,
• Four TPM sensors, and
• TPM Telltale Light

The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly (if

equipped) has a TPM sensor. The matching full size spare

can be used in place of any of the four road tires. The

TPMS will only monitor the pressure in the full size spare

when it is used in place of a road tire. Otherwise, a spare

with a pressure below the low-pressure limit will not

cause the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to

illuminate or the chime to sound.
