NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal
tire care and maintenance, or to provide warn-
ing of a tire failure or condition.
• The TPMS should not be used as a tire pres-
sure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
• Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under -inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’ s responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pressure using
an accurate tire gauge, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of the TPMS W arning Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the ac-
tual tire pressure in the tire.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses
wireless technology with wheel rim-mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of
the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings
to the Receiver Module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important, for you to regularly
check the tire pressure in all of your tires and to
maintain the proper pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) con-
sists of the following components:
• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• V arious Tire Pressure Monitoring System Mes-
sages, which display in the instrument clus-
ter, and a graphic displaying tire pressures
• TPMS W arning Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The TPMS W arning Light will illu-
minate in the instrument cluster ,
and an audible chime will be acti-
vated, when one or more of the
four active road tire pressures are
low. In addition, the instrument cluster will
display an "Inflate to XX" message and a graphic
display of the pressure value(s) with the low
tire(s) in a different color . Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Y our In-
strument Panel” for further information.
NOTE:
Your system can be set to display pressure units
in PSI, BAR or kPa.
