When the low tire pressure indicator
is on, one or more of your tire is
significantly under-inflated. You
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible,
If you think you can safely drive a
short distance to a service station,
proceed slowly, and inflate the tire to
the recommended pressure shown
on the driver’s doorjamb.
If the tire is flat, or if the tire
pressure is too low to continue
driving, replace the tire with the
compact spare tire.
If there is a problem with the TPMS,
you will see the above message in
the multi-information display.
If you see this message, the system
is off and is not monitoring the tire
pressures. Have the system checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.
It is possible that the pressures
shown in the multi-information
display and the pressures you
manually measure are slightly
different.
If the difference is significant and
you cannot make the low tire
pressure indicator and message in
the multi-information display go out
after inflating the tires to the
specified values, have your dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. Each tire, including
the spare should be checked
monthly when cold, and set to the
recommended inflation pressure as
specified in the vehicle placard and
owner’s manual (see page
).
