the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning
threshold for any reason, including low temperature
effects,ornaturalpressurelossthroughthetire.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended
cold(parkedformorethanthreehours)airpressureof35
psi (241 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C)
and the measured tire pressure is 30 psi (207 kPa), a
temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire
pressure to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa). This tire
pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn ON the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light. Driving the vehicle
may cause the tire pressure to rise to approximately 30
psi (207 kPa), but the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
LightwillstillbeON.Inthissituation,theTirePressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will turn OFF only after the
tires have been inflated to the vehicle’s recommended
coldplacardpressurevalue.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire
