Underinflation increases fuel consumption and tire wear.
Do not rely solely on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Check your tires regularly
to make sure they are properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures,
cuts, cracks, and blisters. Remove any objects that become embedded in the tire tread but
have not penetrated into the body of tire itself.
When you take delivery of the vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is
calibrated for the factory-recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the tires on your
vehicle, as shown on the label inside the driver door → Tire inflation pressure .
The system must be recalibrated through the Infotainment system
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 Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) and recalibration through the Infotainment system .
If you have to adjust the tire pressure on a warm tire, fill the tire
Improper recalibration can cause the TPMS to give false
warnings or to give no warning despite dangerously low tire
pressure → Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and
recalibration through the Infotainment system .
