TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
— IF EQUIPPED
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn
the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle
recommended cold placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1
psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (–11°C). This means that when
the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on
cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire
pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for more than
3 hours - and in outside ambient temperature. Refer to
the “Tires — General Information” in this section for
information on how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is
driven, this is normal and there should be no adjustment
for this increased pressure.
