Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inated to the ination pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire ination pressure label on the driver side door
jamb. (If your vehicle has tires of a dierent size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or tire ination pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
ination pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates
a low tire pressure telltale lamp when one
or more of your tires is signicantly under-
inated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale lamp
illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a signicantly under-inated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-ination also
reduces fuel eciency and tire tread life, and may aect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-ination has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale lamp.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating
properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale lamp. When the system detects
a malfunction, the telltale lamp will ash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups
as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS malfunction telltale lamp aer replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement
or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.

NOTE: Aer changing tires, it is necessary for the system to
re-learn the sensor ID´s in each wheel. THINK recommends
that this operation is performed aer conducting any work that
involves removing one or more wheels from the vehicle.
NOTE: Any wheel tted to the vehicle must be tted with the
correct sensor for the THINK TPMS. If uncertain, contact your
dealer for assistance.
