Note: The tire pressure monitoring
system on your vehicle will warn you
when one of your tires is significantly
under − inflated and when some com-
binations of your tires are significant-
ly under − inflated. However, there are
other combinations of significantly
under
− inflated tires for which your
tire pressure monitoring system may
not warn you. These other combina-
tions are relatively common, account-
ing for approximately half the
instances in which vehicles have sig-
nificantly under
− inflated tires. For ex-
ample, your system may not warn you
when both tires on the same side or
on the same axle of your vehicle are
significantly under − inflated. It is par-
ticularly important, therefore, for you
to check the tire pressure in all of
your tires regularly and maintain
proper pressure.
