Understanding the Vehicle
WARNING!
The TPMS warns the driver that the
tire pressure has decreased. This
warning does not exempt the driver
from periodically checking the tires and
from complying with the prescribed tire
pressure levels.
CAUTION!
•
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have
been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage
may occur when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels
can cause sensor damage. Do not use
aftermarket tire sealants or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
•
The system can temporarily experience
radio-electric interference emitted by
devices using similar frequencies.
•
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem
and damage the TPMS internal sensor.
NOTE:
• Driving on a significantly underinflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and
may lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure using an accurate tire
pressure gauge, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS light .
• Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.
Premium System
The TPMS system uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to
each wheel as part of the valve stem
transmit tire pressure readings to the
receiver module.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:
• receiver module;
• four TPMS sensors;
• various TPMS messages, which display
on the instrument cluster;
• warning light .
Tire Pressure Low Warning
The TPMS light will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and an acoustic signal
will notify that tire pressure is low in one
or more of the four tires.
The instrument cluster will also display
a pop up in the right area reporting the
pressure values of each tire with flashing
low pressure value. A pop up message
will also appear below the car image,
reporting a "Low Tire Pressure".
Should this occur, you should stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tire/s
with the low pressure (the one/s flashing
in the instrument cluster graphic) to the
recommended cold pressure inflation
value. Once the system receives the
updated tire pressure value, the system
will automatically update, the graphic
