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 tyre
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
See
for
additional information.
Tyre Pressure Monitor
Operation
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tyre pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in the tyres
and transmit the tyre pressure
readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tyre pressure warning light
located on the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop
as soon as possible and inflate the
tyres to the recommended pressure
shown on the tyre placard. See
A message to check the pressure in
a specific tyre displays in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). The low
tyre pressure warning light and the
DIC warning message come on at
each drive cycle until the tyres are
inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. Using the DIC, tyre
pressure levels can be viewed. For
additional information and details
about the DIC operation and
displays see
.
The low tyre pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
could be an early indicator that the
air pressure is getting low and
needs to be inflated to the proper
pressure.
The tyre placard shows the size of
the original equipment tyres and the
correct inflation pressure for the
tyres when they are cold. For an
example of the tyre placard and its
location, see
