Check tire pressure
僅 You can check the tire pressure in the
information mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "LCD display modes" on
page 4-57.
僅 Tire pressure is displayed 1~2 minutes
later after driving.
僅 If tire pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, “Drive to dis
-
play” message displays. After driving,
check the tire pressure.
僅 You can change the tire pressure unit
in the user settings mode on the clus
-
ter.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "LCD display
modes" on page 4-57).
Each tire, including the spare (if pro
-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi
-
cle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi
-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a signifi
-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi
-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping abil
-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS is not a sub
-
stitute for proper tire maintenance, and
it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if under-infla
-
tion has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pres

sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operat
