Section 4
If you replace the original tires
on your vehicle with tires of a
different size, the pressure listed
on the tire information label
may not be correct. Be sure to
determine the correct tire pressure
for the size of the tires on your
vehicle.
Make sure the replacement tire is
compatible with your tire pressure
monitoring system. If not, the
system may give inaccurate low
pressure warnings.
Cooler weather conditions may
cause the low tire pressure warn-
ing light to appear when you start
the vehicle. The warning light will
turn off as you start to drive. This
could be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
need to be checked and inflated to
the proper pressure.
If the warning light or the message
does not disappear, make sure to
check the tire pressure and inflate
the tires to the recommended
pressure as necessary.
The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert
you about a low tire pressure
condition, but it does not replace
normal tire maintenance.
It is the owner's responsibility to
make sure the correct tire pressure
is maintained.
NOTICE
Do not use liquid sealants in
your tires. The use of sealants
could damage the tire pressure
monitor sensors.
Any resulting damage would
not be covered by your
warranty.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
SYSTEM PROBLEMS
The low tire pressure warning light
will flash for about one minute
and then shine steadily for the
remainder of the ignition cycle if a
problem with the tire pressure
monitor system is detected.
The warning will reappear each
time the vehicle is started until the
problem is corrected.
The SERV TPM (service tire pres-
sure monitor) message will also
appear on the driver information
center display.
See "Driver Information Center
Messages" in Section 1 for more
information.
