SAFETY
305
For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a
chime will sound, the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning Light will flash on and
off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid,
and the instrument cluster will display a
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure value.
Once you repair or replace the original road tire
and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the
non-matching full size spare or compact spare,
the TPMS will update automatically. In addition,
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning Light will turn off and the graphic in the
instrument cluster will display a new pressure
value instead of dashes (--), as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit
in any of the four active road tires. The vehicle
may need to be driven for up to 20
minutes
above 15
mph (24
km/h) in order for the TPMS
to receive this information.
Tire Fill Alert
This feature notifies the user when the placard tire
pressure is attained while inflating or deflating the
tire.
You may choose to disable or enable the Tire Fill
Alert feature through use of the Uconnect Settings
in the radio.
NOTE:
Only one tire can be filled at a time when using
the Tire Fill Alert system.
The Tire Fill Alert feature cannot be entered if an
existing TPMS fault is set to “active” or if the
system is in deactivation mode (if equipped).
The system will be activated when a positive
increase in tire pressure is detected by the TPMS
while inflating the tire. The ignition must be in the
RUN mode, with the transmission in PARK.
NOTE:
It is not required to have the engine running to
enter Tire Fill Alert mode.
The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the
vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode.
When Tire Fill Alert mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
If the hazard lamps do not come on while inflating
the tire, the TPMS sensor may be out of range
preventing the TPMS sensor signal from being
received. In this case, the vehicle may need to be
moved either forward or backward slightly to exit
the null spot.
Operation:
The horn will sound once to let the user know
when to stop filling the tire, when it reaches
recommended pressure.
The horn will sound three times if the tire is over
-
filled and will continue to sound every five
seconds if the user continues to inflate the tire.
The horn will sound once again when enough air
is let out to reach proper inflation level.
The horn will also sound three times if the tire is
then underinflated and will continue to sound
every five seconds if the user continues to
deflate the tire.
Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TTPMS) — If Equipped
The Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TTPMS) is a feature that displays the trailer tire
pressure values and warns the driver of a low tire
pressure event based on the drivers set target tire
pressure value, through TTPMS settings found in
the radio.
The TTPMS monitors the pressure of each tire and
warns the driver through the instrument cluster,
when either a low tire pressure condition falls
below 25% of the drivers set pressure or if a
system malfunction occurs. The instrument cluster
will display the actual tire pressure or dashes for
each of the trailer tires in the correct trailer
