What to do in an emergency
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
WARNING
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle 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.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and
lead to sudden tire failure that
may cause loss of vehicle con-
trol resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if pro- proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
vided), should be checked monthly cantly under-inflated tire causes the
when cold and inflated to the inflation tire to overheat and can lead to tire
pressure recommended by the vehi- failure. Under-inflation also reduces

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.
