Vehicles With Matching Full Size Spare

• The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly

has a TPM sensor that can be monitored by the TPMS.

• If you install the full size spare in place of a road tire

that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning

limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, a chime will

sound and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale

Light” will turn ON. In addition, the EVIC/DID will

display a “LOW TIRE” message and a graphic show-

ing the low tire pressure value in a different color. An
Љ

Inflate to XXЉ message will also be displayed.

• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above

15 mph (25 km/h) the “Tire Pressure Monitoring

Telltale Light” will turn OFF and the pressure value

will be updated and return to it’s original color, as long

as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning

limit in any of the four active road tires.

Vehicles With Non Matching Full Size Spare

• The compact spare tire does not have a TPM sensor.

Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in

the compact spare tire.

• If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-

ing limit, upon the next ignition switch cycle, the TPM

Telltale Light and a “LOW TIRE” message will remain

ON and a chime will sound. In addition, the graphic in

the EVIC/DID will still display a flashing pressure

value or a pressure value in a different color.

• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above

15 mph (24 km/h), the TPM Telltale Light will flash on

and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid. In

addition, the EVIC/DID will display a ЉSERVICE TPM

SYSTEMЉ message for a minimum of five seconds and

then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
