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

僅 You can check the tyre pressure in the
Information ( ) mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "LCD display modes" on
page 4-67.
僅 tyre pressure is displayed 1~2 minutes
later after driving.
僅 If tyre pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, "Drive to dis
-
play" message displays. After driving,
check the tyre pressure.
僅 You can change the tyre pressure unit
in the user settings mode on the clus
-
ter.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User settings
mode (if equipped)" on page 4-70).
Each tyre, 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
tyre inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi
-
cle placard or tyre inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper
tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi
-
nates a low tyre pressure telltale when
one or more of your tyres is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tyre pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi
-
cantly under-inflated tyre causes the
tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre fail
-
ure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stop
-
ping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a sub
-
stitute for proper tyre maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tyre pressure, even if under-
inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
