3 WHAT TO DO IN AN EMERGENCY
6
As an added safety  feature, your ve-
hicle has  been equipped  with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that  illuminates  a  low  tire  pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low  tire pressure tell-
tale illuminates, you  should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate  them to  the proper  pres-
sure.  Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat
and can  lead to  tire  failure.   Under-
inflation  also reduces  fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may  affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator  to
indicate when the system is not oper-
ating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator  is  provided by  a  separate
telltale,  which  displays   the  symbol
"TPMS" when illuminated.  When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may  not be able to  detect or
signal low  tire pressure as  intended.
TPMS malfunctions  may occur  for a
variety of reasons, including the instal-
lation of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS  from functioning properly.
Always check the  TPMS malfunction
indicator after replacing  one or more
tires  or  wheels  on  your   vehicle  to
ensure that the replacement  or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
Low  Tire Pressure  Telltale
When the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem warning telltale is illuminated, one
or  more of  your tires  is  significantly
under-inflated.
Immediately reduce your speed, avoid
hard cornering and anticipate increased
stopping distances.  You should stop
and check your tires as soon as pos-
sible.  Inflate the  tires  to  the  proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tire inflation pressure label
located  on  the  driver’s  side  center
pillar outer panel. If you cannot reach
a service  station or if  the tire cannot
hold the newly added air, replace the
low pressure  tire with  the temporary
spare tire.  Then the  TPMS malfunc-
tion indicator or the Low Tire Pressure
telltale may turn on after restarting and
about 20 minutes of continuous driving
before you have the low-pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
Please note  that the  TPMS is  not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it  is the driver’s  responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation  has  not  reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
