Check tire pressure
僅 You can check the tire pressure in the
information mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "User settings mode (if
equipped)" on page 4-71.
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

- psi, kpa, bar (Refer to "User settings
mode (if equipped)" on page 4-71.)
僅 The tire pressure may change due to
factors such as parking condition,
driving style, and altitude above sea
level.
僅 Low tire pressure warning may sound
when a tire’s pressure unit is equal or
higher than nearby tires. This is a nor
-
mal occurrence, which is due to the
change in tire pressure along with tire
temperature.
僅 The tire pressure shown on the dash
-
board may differ from the tire pres

sure measured by tire pressure
gauge.
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 vehi

cle has tires of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pres

sure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi

nates 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 signifi
