The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is NOT a substitute for

manually checking tire pressure. The tire pressure should be

checked periodically (at least monthly) using a tire gauge, see

Inflating your tires in this chapter. Failure to properly maintain your

tire pressure could increase the risk of tire failure, loss of control,

vehicle rollover and personal injury.

Changing tires with TPMS

Each road tire is equipped with

a tire pressure sensor fastened

to the inside rim of the wheel.

The pressure sensor is covered

by the tire and is not visible

unless the tire is removed. The

pressure sensor is located

opposite (180 degrees) from the

valve stem. Care must be taken

when changing the tire to avoid

damaging the sensor. It is

recommended that you always have

your tires serviced by an authorized

dealer.

The tire pressure should be checked

periodically (at least monthly) using

an accurate tire gauge, refer to

Inflating your tires in this chapter.

Understanding your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System measures pressure in your four

road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. The Low

Tire Warning Lamp will turn ON if the tire pressure is significantly low.

Once the light is illuminated, your tires are under inflated and need to be

inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Even if the

light turns ON and a short time later turns OFF, your tire pressure still

needs to be checked.

When your temporary spare tire is installed

When one of your road tires needs to be replaced with the temporary

spare, the TPMS system will continue to identify an issue to remind you

that the damaged road wheel/tire needs to be repaired and put back on

your vehicle.
