Tire Pressure Light
LOW
TI
RE
Your vehicle may have a
tire pressure monitor that
can alert you to a large
change
in
the pressure in
one tire.
After the system has learned tire pressures with
properly inflated tires, the
LOW
TIRE light will come on
if
the pressure in one tire becomes
12
psi
(83
kPa)
lower than the other three tires. The tire inflation monitor
system won’t alert you
if
the pressure in more than
one tire is low,
if
the system is not yet calibrated, or
if
the vehicle is moving faster than
70
mph
(1
10
km/h).
When the LOW TIRE light comes on, you should stop as
soon as you can and check all your tires for damage.
(If
a tire is flat, see If a Tire Goes Flat on page
5-67.)
Also check the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as
you can. See Inflation
--
Tire Pressure on page
5-58.
The light will stay on (while the ignition is on) until you
reset (calibrate) the system. See Tire Pressure
Monitor System on page
5-59.

fuel, ignition and emission
control systems.
This system is called
OBD
II
(On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) and is intended to
assure that emissions are at acceptable levels for the life
of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner environment.
The SERVICE ENGINE SOON light comes on and a
chime will sound to indicate that there is a problem and
service is required. Malfunctions often will be indicated by
the system before any problem is apparent. This may
prevent more serious damage to your vehicle. This
system is also designed to assist your service technician
in correctly diagnosing any malfunction.
Notice:
If you keep driving your vehicle with this
light on, after a while, your emission controls
may not work as well, your fuel economy may not
be as good and your engine may not run as
smoothly. This could lead to costly repairs that may
not be covered by your warranty.
