Refer to “Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) (if equipped)” (P.5-158) for addi-
tional details on the tyre pressure monitor-
ing system. Refer to “Tyres” (P.9-34) for
information on maintaining proper tyre
pressure.
WARNING
The load-carrying capacity of your
tyres is reduced at lower inflation
pressures. If your tyres are even
moderately under-inflated, the load
on the tyres may exceed the load-car-
rying capacity of the tyres, which
could lead to tyre failure. The low tyre
pressure warning light will not alert
you to this condition, because it only
comes on when one or more of your
tyres becomes significantly under-
inflated.
Check and adjust your tyre inflation
pressure at least once a month. Refer
to “Tyres” (P.9-34).
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the low tyre
pressure warning light on can lead to
an accident, resulting in severe injury
or death.
If the low tyre pressure warning light
comes on and stays on, reduce your
speed and avoid abrupt steering and
braking. Be aware that driving on a
significantly under-inflated tyre can
cause the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure, and may affect
steering control and brake effective-
ness. Stop the vehicle in a safe place
as soon as possible and check your
tyres.
• If you have a flat tyre, replace it
with the spare tyre (if equipped).
Refer to “Jacking instructions”
(P.10-22) for the tyre replacement
method. Also refer to “Replacing
tyres and/or wheels” (P.5-166) for
instructions on how to restore nor-
mal operation of the TPMS after
you have had a flat tyre.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a
flat tyre repair kit instead of a spare
tyre, refer to “Flat tyre repair kit (if
equipped)” (P.10-27) for instruc-
tions on how to perform an emer-
gency repair of a flat tyre.
• If one or more of your tyres is
under-inflated, adjust the inflation
pressure of all tyres to the recom-
mended inflation pressure as soon
as possible.
