TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF
EQUIPPED
The Tire Pressu re Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressu re based on the vehicle
recom mend ed cold placard pressu re.
The TPM System will warn the driver of a low tire
pressu re if the tire pressu re falls below the low pressu re
warning threshold for any reason, inclu ding low tem -
peratu re effects.
The TPM System will continu e to warn the driver of low
tire pressu re as long as the cond ition exists, and will not
turn off until the tire pressu re is at or above recom -
mend ed cold placard pressu re. Once the low tire pressu re
warning has been illuminated , the tire pressu re must be 5
increased to the recom mend ed cold placard pressu re in
ord er for the “Tire Pressu re Monitoring Telltale Light” to
be turned off. The system will autom atically update and
the “Tire Pressu re Monitoring Telltale Light” will extin-
guish once the updated tire pressu res have been received .
The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minu tes
above 15 mph (25 km/ h) to receive this inform ation.
The tire pressu re will vary with tem peratu re by abou t 1
psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when
the outsid e tem peratu re decreases, the tire pressu re will
decrease. Tire pressu re shou ld alw ays be set based on
cold inflation tire pressu re. This is defined as the tire
pressu re after a vehicle has not been driven for more than
3
hou rs - and in outsid e ambient tem peratu re. Refer to
the “Tires — General Inform ation” in this section for
inform ation on how to prop erly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressu re will also increase as the vehicle is
driven, this is norm al and there shou ld be no adjustm ent
for this increased pressu re.
For exam ple, you r vehicle may have a recom mend ed
cold (parked for more than 3 hou rs) air pressu re of 35 psi
