WHEELS AND TIRES

Reinflating tires equipped with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
When low tire pressure has been detected, a
message will be displayed in the instrument
panel and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
symbol will illuminate.
Symbol Explanation
When the TPMS symbol illuminates
and a message is displayed, check,
reinflate the tire(s) and calibrate
TPMS.
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the infla-
tion pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure.
Consult the tire pressure decal located on
the driver's side B-pillar (the structural mem-
ber at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of
the driver's door opening) or the inflation
pressure table in your printed owner's man-
ual supplement.
3. Calibrate the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System, see the article "Calibrating the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System".
4. Drive the vehicle at a speed of at least
22 mph (35 km/h). Please be aware that the
TPMS telltale warning will not go out until
the low tire pressure has been corrected and
calibration has been carried out.
NOTE
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure,
if possible only inflate the tires when they are
cold. The tires are considered to be cold
when they have the same temperature as the
surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is
normally reached after the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours. After driving a dis-
tance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the
tires are considered to be warm.
CAUTION
When inflating tires, press the pump's mouth-
piece straight onto the valve to help avoid
bending or otherwise damaging the valve.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to the
valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
WARNING
•
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to
tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of
the vehicle.
•
Tire monitoring systems cannot indicate
sudden tire damage caused by external
factors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.
