What to do in an emergency Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
indicate when the system is not operat -
ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tyre
pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon subse -
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the TPMS mal -
function indicator remains illuminated
after blinking for approximately 1 min -
ute, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a vari -
ety of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale
after replacing one or more tyres or
wheels on your vehicle to ensure that
the replacement or alternate tyres and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.

and warning message displayed on the
cluster LCD display, one or more of your
tyres is significantly under-inflated.
The low tyre pressure position telltale
light will indicate which tyre is signifi -
cantly under-inflated by illuminating the
corresponding position light.
If either telltale illuminates, immediately
reduce your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping dis -
tances. You should stop and check your
tyres as soon as possible. Inflate the
tyres to the proper pressure as indicated
on the vehicle's placard or tyre inflation
pressure label located on the driver's
side centre pillar outer panel. If you can -
not reach a service station or if the tyre
cannot hold the newly added air, replace
the low pressure tyre with a spare tyre.
If you drive the vehicle for about 10 min -
utes at speeds above 25 km/h after
replacing the low pressure tyre with the
spare tyre, one of the following will hap -
