The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) detects the pressure of vehicle's
tires and displays it on the LCD display.

Tire Pressure Indicator
僅 You can check the tire pressure in the
information mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "LCD display modes" on
page 4-69.
僅 Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 minutes
later after driving.
僅 If tire pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, "Drive to dis
-
play" message displays. After driving,
check the tire pressure.
僅 You can change the tire pressure unit
in the user settings mode on the clus
-
ter.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User Set
-
tings mode" on page 4-72).
僅 The tire pressure may change due to
factors such as parking condition,
driving style, and altitude above sea
level.
僅 The tire pressure shown on the dash
-
board may differ from the tire pres
-
sure measured by tire pressure
gauge.
僅 Low tire pressure warning may sound
when a tire's pressure unit is equal or
lower than nearby tires. This is a nor
-
mal occurrence, which is due to the
change in tire pressure along with tire
temperature.
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 accident
Each tire, including the spare (if pro
-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi
