TPMS can do its job.
Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire
pressure before driving off.
Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend)
more, letting them get too hot, resulting in tread separation,
sudden tire failure, and loss of control.
Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat buildup,
sudden tire failure and loss of control.
If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear
prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.
If the tire is not flat and you do not have to change a wheel
immediately, drive carefully and at reduced speed to the
nearest service station to check the tire pressure and add air
as required.
When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with
TPMS always read and heed the information and all
WARNINGS regarding → Tires and wheels .
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated
whenever you remove and remount or change any wheel or
tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement
wheels and tires are identical to those that were removed and
even if the tire pressure does not change → Tire inflation
pressure .
