• Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains rub or bang against your

vehicle, stop and retighten the chains. If this does not work, remove

the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.

• Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use

tire chains on dry roads.

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.

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 TPMS

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.
