Low tyre pressure
warning light
Low tyre pressure position and
tyre pressure telltale
OJX1080031ROJX1080031R
When the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning indicators are
illuminated and a warning message
displayed on the cluster LCD display,
one or more of your tyres is significantly
under-inflated. The Low Tyre Pressure
Position Telltale will indicate which
tyre is significantly underinflated by
illuminating the corresponding position
light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible. Inflate the
tyres to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle’s placard or tyre inflation
pressure label located on the driver’s
side centre pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a gas station or if the
tyre cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tyre with the
spare tyre.
The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale will remain
on and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator
may blink for one minute and then
remain illuminated (when the vehicle
is driven approximately 10 minutes at
speed above 15.5 mph) until you have the
low pressure tyre repaired and replaced
on the vehicle.
CAUTION
In winter or cold weather, the Low Tyre
Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if
the tyre pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tyre inflation pressure
in warm weather. It does not mean
your TPMS is malfunctioning because
the decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tyre pressure.
When you drive your vehicle from a
warm area to a cold area or from a cold
area to a warm area, or the outside
temperature is greatly higher or lower,
you should check the tyre inflation
pressure and adjust the tyres to the
recommended tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tyre pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contribute
to loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tyres
can cause the tyres to overheat and fail.
