tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure tell-
tale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain con-
tinuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue
upon
subsequent
vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction ex-
ists. When the malfunction indicator is il-
luminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as in-
tended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the instal-
lation 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 replace-
ment or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Additional information
O
The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
O
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).
O
The low tire pressure warning light
does not automatically turn off when
the tire pressure is adjusted. After the
tire is inflated to the recommended
pressure, the vehicle must be driven
at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low
tire pressure warning light. Use a tire
pressure gauge to check the tire pres-
sure.
O
Tire pressure rises and falls de-
pending on the heat caused by the ve-
hicle’s operation and the outside tem-
perature. Low outside temperature can
lower the temperature of the air inside
the tire which can cause a lower tire
inflation pressure. This may cause the
low tire pressure warning light to illu-
minate. If the warning light illuminates
in low ambient temperature, check the
tire pressure for all four tires.
For additional information, see “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “2. Instru-
ments and controls” section and “Tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section.
WARNING
O
If the low tire pressure warning light illu-
minates or LOW PRESSURE information
is displayed on the monitor screen while
driving, avoid sudden steering maneu-
vers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle
speed, pull off the road to a safe location
and stop the vehicle as soon as possible.
Serious vehicle damage could occur and
may lead to an accident and could result
in serious personal injury. Check the tire
pressure for all four tires. Adjust the tire
pressure to the recommended COLD tire
pressure shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label to turn the low tire
pressure warning light OFF. If the light
still comes on while driving after ad-
justing the tire pressure, a tire may be
flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with
a spare tire as soon as possible. (See
“Flat tire” in the “6. In case of emer-
gency” section for changing a flat tire.)
