The TPMS will continu e to warn the driver of low tire Warning Light.” Driving the vehicle may cause the tire
pressu re as long as the cond ition exists, and will not turn pressu re to rise to approxim ately 30 psi (207 kPa), but the
off until the tire pressu re is at or above recom mend ed “TPMS Warning Light” will still be on. In this situ ation,
cold tire placard pressu re. Once the low tire pressu re the “TPMS Warning Light” will turn off only after the
warning has been illuminated , the tire pressu re must be tires have been inflated to the vehicle’s recom mend ed

The system will autom atically update and the “TPMS
Warning Lamp” will extingu ish once the updated tire
pressu res have been received . The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minu tes above 15 mph (25 km/ h) to

For exam ple, you r vehicle may have a recom mend ed
cold (parked for more than three hou rs) tire pressu re of
35
psi (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 “TPMS
