Accordingly, when  the low  tire pres-

stop and check your tires as soon as
possible,  and   inflate   them  to   the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly 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.
detects a malfunction, the telltale  will
flash  for  approximately  one  minute
and then  remain continuously  illumi-
nated.  This  sequence  will  continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction  exists. When
the malfunction indicator  is illuminat-
ed,  the system  may  not be  able  to
detect or  signal low  tire pressure as
intended.  TPMS  malfunctions   may
occur for a variety of reasons, includ-
ing the installation  of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels  on the vehi-
cle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly.
