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 replacement or alter-
nate   tires   and  wheels   allow   the
TPMS to continue to function proper-
ly.
Each tire, including the spare  (if pro-
vided),  should  be checked  monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by  the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard or tire inflation pressure label.  (If
your  vehicle has  tires  of a  different
size  than the  size  indicated  on the
vehicle placard  or tire inflation  pres-
sure label, you should determine the
proper   tire   inflation   pressure   for
those tires.)
Please note  that the TPMS  is not  a
substitute   for   proper  tire   mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s responsi-
bility  to  maintain  correct  tire  pres-
sure, even  if under-inflation  has not
reached the  level to trigger  illumina-
tion  of the  TPMS  low tire  pressure
telltale.
