When a tire loses inflation, the low

tire warning system detects the

change and illuminates the low tire

warning indicator light as shown.

If the light remains on while driving,

check the tire pressure refer to “Checking the tire pressure” in this

chapter. The low tire warning indicator light will also illuminate when

using a temporary spare, refer to “Changing the tires” in the Roadside

emergencies chapter.

The low tire warning system may not detect an under-inflated

tire under all conditions and is not a substitute for manually

checking tires regularly for proper inflation.

The low tire warning system should be reset whenever new tires

are installed, rotated or tire pressures are changed.

If one tire needs to be replaced sooner than the other on the

same axle replace it with the same brand, type, size, speed rating,

load carrying capacity and DOT code as the other tire. Note: tires

on the same axle (front or rear) must match for the low tire

warning system to function properly.

To reset the system, turn the

ignition to the ON position, press

and hold the “TIRE RESET” switch

(located on the instrument panel

behind the steering wheel) for three

seconds. The low tire warning

indicator light will flash three times

as the low tire warning system

begins to initialize. The initial adjustment is completed after driving over

65 km/h (40 mph) for 15 to 20 minutes.

This system may not function properly under the following conditions:

• Uneven tread wear.

• Driving on loose or low traction surfaces such as gravel, snow or slush.

• Using tire chains

• Initial tire pressures out of specified range.

• Two or more under inflated tires.

• Sudden loss of tire pressure.
