Base System
This is the TPMS Warning Light 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 pres-
sure 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
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Low
Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, an audible chime
will be activated, and the “Check tire pressure” mes-
sage will display when one or more of the four active
road tire pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the inflation
pressure of each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each
tire to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pres-
sure value. The system will automatically update and
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
extinguish once the updated tire pressures have been
received. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.
Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid
when a system fault is detected, an audible chime will
be activated and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Unavail-
able” message will display. If the ignition key is cycled,
this sequence will repeat providing the system fault still
exists. The TPMS Warning Light will turn off when the
fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can
occur with any of the following scenarios:
•
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS sensors
•
Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting
that affects radio wave signals
•
Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings
•
Using tire chains on the vehicle
•
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with a regular size spare
wheel.
1. The spare tire does not have a TPMS sensor. There-
fore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressure in the
spare tire.
2. If a spare tire not equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System sensor is used, the TPMS
Warning Light will turn on, flashing for 75 seconds
and then remaining solid for each subsequent igni-
tion key cycle.
3. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the spare tire,
the TPMS will update automatically and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will extin-
guish once the updated tire pressures have been
received. The vehicle may need to be driven for up
to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive
this information.
NOTE:
For correct Tire Pressure Monitoring System behavior,
please wait for about 20 minutes in key-off during each
tire substitution.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features in your
vehicle are the restraint systems:
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
FEATURES
•
Seat Belt Systems
•
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags
•
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this section
may be standard equipment on some models, or may
be optional or not equipped on others. If you are not
sure, ask an authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please pay close attention to the information in this
section. It tells you how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your passengers (if your
vehicle is equipped with passenger seating) as safe as
possible.
