How
to
Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You can’t tell if your tires are properly inflated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look
properly inflated even when they’re underinflated.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
Sensors, mounted on each road wheel, transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the trunk.
Tire pressure status and tire pressure warnings are
shown on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
See
Driver Information Center (DIC) on page
3-57,
for details regarding DIC controls and displays.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry and Science Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
5-62
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by anyone
other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
If
the TPM system detects low tire pressure, below
25
psi (172 kPa), or high tire pressure, above
38
psi (262 kPa), a message, CHECK
TIRE
PRESSURE, will appear on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) display. By pressing the
INFO button, the
DIC screen will show which tire(s) has the low or
high pressure condition. See
Inflation
--
Tire Pressure
on
page
5-61
for information regarding correct tire
inflation.
If
a tire is low, you should stop as soon as
possible and check all your tires for damage.
If
a tire is
flat, see
If
a
Tire Goes Flat
on
page
5-71.
Notice:
Do not use a tire sealant
if
your vehicle is
equipped with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid
sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor
sensors.
