STARTING AND OPERATING
•
•
The TPMS is not a substitu te for prop er tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s resp onsibility to maintain
correct tire pressu re, using an accurate tire pressu re
gage, even if und er-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the “TPMS Warning Lamp.”
CAUTIO N! (Con tin ued)
•
After inspectin g or adjustin g the tire pressu re
alw ays rein stall the valve stem cap. This will
preven t moistu re and dirt from enterin g the valve
stem , which could damage the TPM S sen sor.
Seasonal tem peratu re changes will affect tire pressu re,
and the TPMS will monitor the actu al tire pressu re in
the tire.
NOTE:
•
The TPMS is not intend ed to rep lace norm al tire care
and maintenance, or to provid e warning of a tire
failu re or cond ition.
Base System
The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressu re lev-
els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve
stem , transm it tire pressu re read ings to the Receiver
Mod ule.
•
•
The TPMS shou ld not be used as a tire pressu re gau ge
while adjusting you r tire pressu re.
Driving on a significantly und er-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failu re.
Und er-inflation also red uces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s hand ling and
stop ping ability.
NOTE: It is particu larly important for you to check the
tire pressu re in all of you r tires regu larly and to maintain
the prop er pressu re.
