Dodge 2016 Challenger, Operating Information Manual

Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pres-
sure levels. Sensors mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
•
Receiver module,
•
Four TPM sensors,
•
Various TPMS messages, which display in
the Driver Information Display (DID), and
•
TPM Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The “TPM Telltale Light” will illuminate
in the instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is low in
one or more of the four active road
tires. In addition, the Drivers Information Dis-
play (DID) will display a “LOW TIRE” message
and a graphic showing the pressure values of
each tire with the low tire pressure values
shown in a different color.
Should this occur, you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate all of the tires with a low
pressure condition (those shown in a different
color in the DID graphic) to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure inflation value.
Once the system receives the updated tire
pressures, the system will automatically update,
the graphic display in the DID will return the
pressure values shown to their original color,
and the “TPM Telltale Light” will turn off. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the
TPMS to receive this information.
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure
may need to be increased up to an additional
4 psi (30 kPa) above the recommended cold
placard pressure in order to turn the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the “TPM Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid. The system fault will also
sound a chime. In addition, the DID will display
a
" SERVICE TPM SYSTEM " message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value to
indicate which sensor is not being received.
