Tire Pressure Monitor
NOTICE
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.
This system uses radio and sensor
technology to monitor tire
pressure.
Sensors, located on each wheel
except the compact spare tire and
wheel assembly, transmit tire pres-
sure readings to a receiver in the
vehicle.
If the system detects low tire
pressure in one or more of the
tires, the low tire pressure warning
light will appear.
For more information, see "Low
Tire Pressure Light" under
"Warning Lights" in Section 1.
The LOW TIRE (low tire) message
will also appear on the driver
information center display.
See "Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1 for more
information.
The message and the warning
light will appear at each ignition
cycle until the low tire pressure
condition is corrected.
Stop as soon as possible and have
the tire pressures checked and
corrected.
Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency, tire tread life, and may
affect the handling and stopping
ability of the vehicle.
Check your tires at least once a
month. Don't forget your spare
tire.
See the tire information label
for your vehicle's tire inflation
specifications.
To determine the location of your
vehicle's tire information label, see
"Vehicle Loading" in Section 3.
