What to do in an emergency

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire Pressure Indicator
䳜 You can check the tire pressure in
the assist mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "Driving Assist mode"
on page 4-85.
䳜 Tire pressure is displayed 1~2
minutes later after driving.
䳜 If tire pressure is not displayed
when the vehicle is stopped,
"Drive to display" message dis
-
plays. After driving, check the tire
pressure.
䳜 You can change the tire pressure
unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User
settings mode" on page 4-86).
䳜 The tire pressure may change due
to factors such as parking condi
-
tion, driving style, and altitude
above sea level.
䳜 The tire pressure shown on the
dashboard may differ from the
tire pressure measured by tire
pressure gauge.
䳜 Low tire pressure warning may
sound when a tire's pressure unit
is equal or lower than nearby
tires. This is a normal occurrence,
which is due to the change in tire
pressure along with tire tempera

ture.
Effective use of TPMS
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
