202 SAFETY
NOTE:

The TPMS is not intended to replace normal
tire care and maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or condition.

The TPMS should not be used as a tire pres -
sure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.

Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsi -
bility to maintain correct tire pressure using
an accurate tire gauge, even if under-infla -
tion has not reached the level to trigger illu -
mination of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light.

Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the
actual tire pressure in the tire.
Base System
This is the TPMS warning indicator
located in the instrument cluster.
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.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the
tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
regularly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following
components:

Receiver Module.

Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System
sensors.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning
Light.
CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the orig -
inal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warnings 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. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is recom -
mended that you take your vehicle to an
authorized dealership to have your sensor
function checked.

After inspecting or adjusting the tire pres -
sure, always reinstall the valve stem cap.
This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System sensor.
