placard or tire inflation pressure
label located on the driver's side
center pillar outer panel. If you can

not reach a service station or if the
tire cannot hold the newly added air,
replace the low pressure tire with
the spare tire.

you have the low pressure tire
repaired and replaced on the vehicle.
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illumi

nated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is mal

functioning because the decreased
temperature leads to a proportional
lowering of tire pressure.
You should check the tire inflation
pressure and adjust the tires to the
recommended tire inflation pressure

Do not drive on low pressure tires.
Significantly low tire pressure can
cause the tires to overheat and fail
making the vehicle unstable result

and a loss of vehicle control.
TPMS malfunction indicator
The low tire pressure telltale will
illuminate after it blinks for approxi

mately one minute when there is a
problem with the TPMS.
If the system is able to correctly
detect an underinflation warning at
the same time as system failure, it
will illuminate both the TPMS mal

function and the low tire pressure
position telltales. For example, if the
Front Left sensor fails, the TPMS
malfunction indicator illuminates,
but if the Front Right, Rear Left, or
