causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure.
the system may not be able to detect or sig-
nal low tire pressure as intended.
Warning!
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
Tire and Loading Information placard on the
driver’s door B-pillar or, if available, the tire
inflation pressure label on the fuel filler flap.
If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the Tire and
Loading Information placard or, if available,
the tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure
for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with an advanced tire pres-
sure monitoring system (Advanced TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is significant-
ly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possi-
ble, and inflate then to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may effect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please
note that the Advanced TPMS is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if underinflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination
of the Advanced TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.
Advanced TPMS malfunctions may occur for
a variety of reasons, including the installa-
tion of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the Ad-
vanced TPMS from functioning properly. Al-
ways check the Advanced TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to en-
sure that the replacement or alternate tires
and wheels allow the Advanced TPMS to
continue to function properly.
USA only:
Your vehicle has also been equipped with an
Advanced TPMS malfunction indicator to in-
dicate when the system is not operating
properly. The Advanced TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approx-
imately one minute and then remain contin-
uously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
i If a condition causing the Advanced TPMS to
malfunction develops, it may take up to
10 minutes for the system to signal a malfunc-
tion using the Advanced TPMS telltale flashing
and illumination sequence.
The telltale extinguishes after a few minutes driv-
ing if the malfunction has been corrected.
i Operating radio transmission equipment
(e.g. wireless headsets, two-way radios) in or
near the vehicle could cause the Advanced TPMS
to malfunction.
