as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure,
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduced fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure indicator light.
The TPMS uses wireless technology to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each wheel as part of
the valve stem transmit tire pressure readings to a
receiver located inside the vehicle.
NOTE: The TPMS can inform you about a low tire
pressure condition, but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. The TPMS is not intended to provide you
with notification of rapid tire pressure loss.
