Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
If the TPM system detects low tire pressure, below
24 psi (165 kPa), or high tire pressure, above 36 psi
(248 kPa), a message, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
By pressing the INFO button, the DIC screen will show
which tire(s) has the low or high pressure condition.
See “Inflation
--
Tire Pressure” in the Index for
information regarding correct tire inflation. If a tire is
low, you should stop as soon as possible and check all
your tires for damage. If a tire is flat, see “If a Tire
Goes Flat” in the Index.
NOTICE:
Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle is equipped
with Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant
can damage the tire pressure monitor sensors.
Once a low or high tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPM system will display the CHECK TIRE
MESSAGE each time the engine is started, until the
tire(s) are set to the correct inflation pressure.
The Certification/Tire Label, which is located on the
rear edge of the driver’s side rear door, shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires on your vehicle.
The TPM system also allows the driver to check the
air pressure status of each road tire using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). Each tire’s air pressure will be
listed individually, in the following order: LF (left front
or driver’s side front tire), RF (right front or passenger’s
side front tire), RR (right rear or passenger’s side
rear tire) and LR (left rear or driver’s side rear tire).
See “Inflation
--
Tire Pressure” in the Index for
information regarding correct tire inflation. Also, see
“Driver Information Center (DIC)” in the Index for
information on the DIC controls and displays.
If the DIC display doesn’t show tire pressures or the
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM message appears, see your
dealer for service. The TPM system may not work
properly while the compact spare tire is installed.
Anytime you replace one or more tires or rotate your
tires the TPM system will need to be reset. A special
tool is needed to reset the sensor identification codes.
See your dealer for service.
The TPM system can alert you about a low or high
tire pressure condition, but it doesn’t replace normal
tire maintenance. See “Tires” in the Index.
