Tire Pressure
The
Tires
application allows you to view tire pressures when the vehicle is equipped with the optional
SmartWave
tire pressure measurement system. This system consists of tire pressure sensors, a central
control module and associated antennas. For information on configuring the Smartwave
system such
as changing sensors and configuring, installing or removing sensors, refer to the SmartWave
Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Owner’s Manual, part number 710.0078 that came with the vehicle.
Tire pressures and temperatures can be monitored with the
Tires
application. The VIS can provide an
alert of tire pressure or temperature problems as well as other sensor status. All pressures in a green
background are within their normal range.
Tire pressure symbols with their meaning are shown below:
Normal. Tire pressure shown on green background
Low Sensor Battery. The sensor should be replaced.
Abnormal Tire Pressure. The tire pressure is more than 10% from the target
pressure. This is calculated using the current tire temperature and adjusting
accordingly.
Stop, inspect the tire and make the necessary corrections.
Critical Low Tire Pressure. Tire pressure is more than 15% lower than the target
pressure.
Stop, inspect the tire and make the necessary corrections.
High Temperature Warning. The tire has exceeded 195
F (90
C).
Stop, inspect
the tire and make the necessary corrections.
Waiting for sensor. When programming new sensors, this symbol is displayed
until the new sensor is recognized.
No Sensor. There is no sensor on this wheel.
Sensor Fault. Displayed when there is a sensor fault. Refer to the SmartWave
manual for diagnostics and troubleshooting information.
