Tyre pressure monitoring system
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tyre life, adversely affect vehicle
handling, and lead to sudden tyre
failure that may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tyres of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tyre inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tyre
inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a tyre
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tyre pressure
telltale when one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tyre pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on
a significantly under-inflated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tyre pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tyres
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTICE
If any of the below happens, we
recommend that you have the system
checked by an authorised Retailer of
Genesis Branded Products.
1. The Low Tyre Pressure Telltale/ TPMS
Malfunction Indicator does not
illuminate for 3 seconds when the
Engine Start/Stop button is pressed
to the ON position or when the
engine is running.
2. The TPMS Malfunction Indicator
remains illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute.
3. The Low Tyre Pressure Position
Telltale remains illuminated.
