Tire pressure monitoring system
General notes (l)
Each tire, including the spare {if provided), should be checked
monthly when co ld and infl ated to the inflation pressure recom -
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inf lation pressure labe l. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-
sure labe l, you should determine the proper tire inf lation pressure
for those tires.!
As an added safety feature , your vehicle has been equipped with a
t ire pressure monitoring system {TPMS) t hat illuminates a low t ire
pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly
under -inf lated. Accordingly, when the low t ire pressure t elltale ill u-

and inf late them to the proper pressure . Driving on a significantly
under-inf lated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
