SAFETY

NOTE:

The TPMS is not intended to replace
normal tire care and maintenance or to
provide warning of a tire failure or condi
-
tion.

If your vehicle is not equipped with the
Tire Fill Alert feature the TPMS should not
be used as a tire pressure gauge while
adjusting your tire pressure.

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.

The TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pres
-
sure using an accurate tire pressure
gauge, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of
the TPMS Warning Light.

Seasonal temperature changes will affect
tire pressure, and the TPMS will monitor
the actual tire pressure in the tire.
Example: Tire Pressure Monitor Display
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (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 pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system opera
-
tion or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage.

Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become inop
-
erable. After using an aftermarket tire
sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership
to have your sensor function checked.

After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which
could damage the TPMS sensor.
