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.
Tire Inspection and Rotation
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles
(10 000 to 13 000 km). Any time you notice unusual
wear, rotate your tires as soon as possible and check
wheel alignment. Also check for damaged tires or
wheels. See “When It’s Time for New Tires” and
“Wheel Replacement” later in this section for
more information.
The purpose of regular rotation is to achieve more
uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. The first
rotation is the most important. See “Scheduled
Maintenance Services” in the Index for scheduled
rotation intervals.
