Tire Pressure Monitor System — If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) monitors the
pressure in all 4 road tires and the full size spare. The
TPM system uses wireless technology to monitor tire
pressurelevels.Sensors,mountedtoeachwheelaspart
of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to a
receiver located in the overhead console. The tire pres-
surestatusisshownintheElectronicVehicleInformation
Center (EVIC) display. Pressure in the spare tire, al-
thoughmonitored,isnotdisplayedintheEVIC.Referto
