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 plac-
ard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light off.The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this informa-
tion.
Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
remain on solid when a system fault is de-
tected. The system fault will also sound a
chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this
sequence will repeat providing the system
fault still exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will turn off when the fault
condition no longer exists. A system fault can
occur with any of the following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPM sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket win-
dow tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPM sensors.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
1. The compact spare tire does not have a
tire pressure monitoring sensor. There-
fore, the TPMS will not monitor the tire
pressure in the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in
place of a road tire that has a pressure
below the low-pressure warning limit,
upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime
will sound and the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Telltale Light and LOW TIRE message
will still turn ON due to the low tire.
3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid.
