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 every

minute while you are driving and once every 6 hours when your vehicle

is parked. The Low Tire Warning Lamp will turn ON if the tire pressure

is 25% below the pressure listed on the Safety Compliance Certification

Label (approximately 6 to 9 psi below the manufacturer’s recommend

tire pressure). If the tire pressure increases 2 psi above the “Light ON”

threshold, then the TPMS light will turn OFF. 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.

In short, once the light has turned ON, at least one tire may be under

inflated.
