Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that sends the
inflation pressure information of each tire to
the control unit, and will signal the driver in the
event of insufficient tire pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel
rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature by
approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
also decrease. Tire pressure should always be
set based on cold inflation tire pressure. This
is defined as the tire pressure after the vehicle
has not been driven for at least three hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three
hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
must not exceed the maximum inflation pres
-
sure molded into the tire sidewall. Refer to
“Tires” in “Servicing And Maintenance” for
information on how to properly inflate the
vehicle’s tires. The tire pressure will also
increase as the vehicle is driven. This is
normal, and there should be no adjustment for
this increased pressure.
The TPMS will signal the driver if pressure falls
below the warning limit for any reason,
including the effects of low temperature and
normal loss of pressure from the tire.
The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient tire
pressure when pressure is equal to or greater
than the prescribed cold inflation level. There
-
fore, if insufficient tire pressure is indicated by
the ( ) warning light displaying in the instru
-
ment cluster, increase the inflation pressure
up to the prescribed cold inflation value.
The system will automatically update, and the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light” will
turn off once the system receives the updated
tire pressures. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
NOTE:
The TPMS cannot indicate sudden tire pres
-
sure drops (e.g. if a tire bursts). In this case,
proceed with caution and avoid abrupt
steering.
Operating Example
For example, your vehicle may have a recom
-
mended cold (parked for more than three
hours) placard pressure of 33 psi (227 kPa). If
the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C), and
the measured tire pressure is 28 psi
(193 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C)
will decrease the tire pressure to approxi
-
mately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire pressure is
low enough to turn on the “Tire Pressure Moni
-
toring Warning Light.” Driving the vehicle may
cause the tire pressure to rise to approxi
-
mately 28 psi (193 kPa), but the “Tire Pres
-
sure Monitoring Warning Light” will still be on.
In this situation, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Warning Light” will turn off only after the tires
are inflated to the vehicle’s recommended
cold placard pressure value.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the orig
-
inal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been estab
-
lished for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on after
-
market wheels and may contribute to a
poor overall system performance or
sensor damage. Customers are encour
-
aged to use OEM wheels to assure proper
TPM feature operation.
