If you have a flat tire, see “Flat tire” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS). It
monitors tire pressure of all tires except
the spare. When the low tire pressure
warning light is lit, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated. If
equipped, the system also displays pres-
sure of all tires (except the spare tire) on
the display screen by sending a signal
from a sensor that is installed in each
wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the ve-
hicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h). Also, this system may not de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving).
For more details, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section, “Tire pressure in-
formation” in the “4. Display screen,
heater, air conditioner and audio sys-
tems” section, “Tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section, and “Flat tire” in the “6.
In case of emergency” section.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressure (including the
spare) often and always prior to long
distance trips. The recommended tire
pressure specifications are shown on
the F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the
Tire and Loading Information label (if so
equipped) under the “Cold Tire Pres-
sure” heading. The Tire and Loading In-
formation label is affixed to the driver
side center pillar. Tire pressures should
be checked regularly because:
O
Most tires naturally lose air over
time.
O
Tires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other objects
or if the vehicle strikes a curb while
parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at mod-
erate speeds.
Incorrect tire pressure, including under-
inflation, may adversely affect tire life
and vehicle handling.
WARNING
O
Improperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.
O
The Gross Vehicle Weight rating
(GVWR)
is
located
on
the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label. The
vehicle weight capacity is indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading In-
formation label (if so equipped).
Do not load your vehicle beyond
this capacity. Overloading your
vehicle may result in reduced tire
life, unsafe operating conditions
due to premature tire failure, or
unfavorable handling characteris-
tics and could also lead to a se-
rious accident. Loading beyond
the specified capacity may also re-
sult in failure of other vehicle com-
ponents.
O
Before taking a long trip, or when
ever you heavily load your vehicle,
use a tire pressure gauge to en-
