an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
The concept
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring sys‐
tem, TPMS, that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires are sig‐
nificantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Un‐
der-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability. 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.

During normal brake application, the outer
brake lamps light up.
During heavy brake application, the lower
brake lamps light up in addition.
The brake force display is automatically acti‐
vated if the turn signal is not flashing.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined
with the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys‐
tem detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle startups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the mal‐
function 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 installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the re‐
placement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
