TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING

SYSTEM

WARNING

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.

Each tire, including the spare (if

provided), should be checked

monthly when cold and inflated

to the inflation pressure

recommended by the vehicle manufacturer

on the vehicle placard or tire inflation

pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of

a different size than the size indicated on

the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure

label, you should determine the proper tire

inflation pressure for those tires.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle

has been equipped with a tire pressure

monitoring system (TPMS) that

illuminates a low tire pressure telltale

when one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltale

illuminates, you should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible, and inflate

them to the proper pressure. Driving on a

significantly under-inflated tire causes the

tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency

and tire tread life, and may affect the

vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a

substitute for proper tire maintenance, and

it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain

correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation

has not reached the level to trigger

illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating properly.

The malfunction indicator is combined

with the low tire pressure telltale. When

the system detects a malfunction, the

telltale will flash for approximately one

minute and then remain continuously

illuminated. This sequence will continue

upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long

as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur

for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate

tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent

the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to function

properly.

The tire pressure monitoring system

complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and

with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.

Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) This device

must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause

undesired operation.
