󳱽You can check the tire pressure in
the assist mode on the cluster.
-Refer to "User Settings mode"
on page 4-71.
󳱽Tire pressure is displayed 1~2
minutes later after driving.
󳱽If tire pressure is not displayed
when the vehicle is stopped,

plays. After driving, check the tire
pressure.
󳱽You can change the tire pressure

-psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User
Settings mode" on page 4-71).
NOTICE
󳱽The tire pressure may change due
to factors such as parking condi

tion, driving style, and altitude
above sea level.
󳱽The tire pressure shown on the
dashboard may differ from the
tire pressure measured by tire
pressure gauge.
Effective use of the TPMS
WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can
reduce tire life, adversely affect
vehicle handling, and lead to sudden
tire failure that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an acci
-
dent
Each tire, including the spare (if pro
-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the infla
-
tion pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a differ
-
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should deter
-
mine the proper tire inflation pres -
sure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
TPMS that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi
-
cle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte
-
nance, and it is the driver's respon -
sibility to maintain correct tire
