Vehicle Care
Accordingly, when the low tyre
pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tyres as
soon as possible, and inflate them
to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tyre
causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre
tread life, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tyre
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct
tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tyre pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tyre
pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety
of reasons, including the installation
of replacement or alternate tyres or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tyres or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tyres and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.

Tyre Pressure Monitor
Operation
This vehicle may have a Tyre
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS is designed to warn the
driver when a low tyre pressure
condition exists. TPMS sensors are
mounted onto each tyre and wheel
assembly, excluding the spare tyre
and wheel assembly, if the vehicle
has one. The TPMS sensors
monitor the air pressure in the tyres
and transmits the tyre pressure
readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
When a low tyre pressure condition
is detected, the TPMS illuminates
the low tyre pressure warning light
located on the instrument cluster.
If the warning light comes on, stop
