CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as
handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,
avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immedi-
ately using the dedicated tire repair kit and contact
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires
of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly 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.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, 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 illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunc-
tion telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
