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

Tyre Pressure Indicator
僅 You can check the tyre pressure in the
information mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "LCD display modes" on
page 4-42.
僅 Tyre pressure is displayed 1~2 min
-
utes 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" on page 4-43).
Each tyre, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated
to the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehi
-
cle 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 appears
a low tyre pressure telltale when one or
more of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tyre
pressure telltale appears, you should
stop and check your tyres as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to
overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi
-
ciency and tyre tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping abil
-
ity.
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
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 appeared.
