the tire pressu re falls below the low pressu re warning
threshold for any reason, inclu ding low tem peratu re
effects, or natu ral air pressu re loss throu gh the tire.
For exam ple, you r vehicle may have a recom mend ed
cold (parked for more than 3 hou rs) placard of 35 °F (241
kPa). If the ambient tem peratu re is 68 °F (20 °C) and the
measu red tire pressu re is 30 psi (207 kPa), a tem peratu re
drop to 20 °F (-7 °C) will decrease the tire pressu re to
approxim ately 26 psi (179 kPa). This tire pressu re is
sufficiently low enou gh to turn ON the “Tire Pressu re
Monitoring Light.” Driving the vehicle may cause the tire
The TPMS will continu e to warn the driver of low tire
