You may also store pressure values chosen for each axle
in the Uconnect system application as preset pressure
values. Up to two sets of preset pressure values can be
stored in the Uconnect system for the front and rear axle.
Once you select the tire pressures for the front and rear
axles that you want to inflate or deflate to, you can begin
inflating or deflating one tire at a time.
NOTE:
The STFA system will only support inflating or deflating one
tire at a time.
In order to use STFA, the Tire Fill Alert feature must be
The system will be activated when the TPMS receiver
module detects a change in tire pressure. The ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode, with the transmission in
PARK in vehicles with an automatic transmission, and in
NEUTRAL with the parking brake engaged in vehicles with
a manual transmission. The hazard lamps will come on to
confirm the vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode.
When Tire Fill Alert mode is entered, the tire pressure
screen will be displayed in the instrument cluster. If the
hazard lamps do not come on while inflating or deflating
the tire, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor may be in an inoperative position, preventing the
TPMS sensor signal from being received. In this case, the
vehicle may need to be moved slightly forward or
backward.
The STFA system will only inflate or deflate one tire at a
time. Wait until the hazard lights have stopped flashing for
30 seconds after the desired pressure is achieved on one
tire before switching to another.
Horn chirps will indicate STFA status as tires are inflated/
deflated. The horn will chirp under the following STFA
states:
1. The horn will chirp once when the selected pressure
is reached to let you know when to stop inflating or
deflating the tire.
2. The horn will chirp three times if the tire is overin
-
flated or over-deflated.
3. The horn will chirp once again when enough air is
added or removed to reach proper selected pressure
level.
TPMS DEACTIVATION — IF EQUIPPED
The TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS sensors, such as when
installing winter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four wheel and
tire assemblies (road tires) with tires not equipped with
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors. Then,
drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h).
The TPMS will chime, the TPMS Warning Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on. The
instrument cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE
SYSTEM” message in the instrument cluster but dashes
(--) will remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel and tire
assemblies (road tires) with tires equipped with TPMS
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the TPMS
Warning Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then
turn off. The instrument cluster will display the “SERVICE
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM” message and then display
pressure values in place of the dashes. On the next
ignition cycle the "SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM"
message will no longer be displayed as long as no system
fault exists.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle
are the restraint systems:
O
CCUPANT
R
ESTRAINT
S
YSTEMS
F
EATURES
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this section may
be standard equipment on some models, or may be
optional equipment on others. If you are not sure, ask an
authorized dealer.
