Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) – messages
Erasing warning messages
When a low tire pressure warning message
has been displayed and the tire pressure
warning light in the instrument panell (
)
has come on:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the
inflation pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pres-
sure (consult the tire pressure placard
located on the driver's side B-pillar (the
structural member at the side of the vehi-
cle, at the rear of the driver's door open-
ing) or the inflation pressure table, see
Tire inflation – pressure table (p. 301).
3. In certain cases, it may be necessary to
drive the vehicle for several minutes at a
speed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster. This
will erase the warning text and the telltale
will go out.
NOTE
•
Tire monitoring systems use a tem-
perature compensated pressure value.
This pressure value is dependent on
tire temperature and ambient tempera-
ture, which can differ from the recom-
mended cold tire pressure in the tire
inflation table and on the tire pressure
placard located on the driver's side B-
pillar (the structural member at the
side of the vehicle, at the rear of the
driver's door opening). This means
that it may sometimes be necessary to
inflate them slightly above the recom-
mended cold pressure value
(approx. 3-4 psi or 0.2-0.3 bar) in order
to reset a low tire pressure warning.
•
To help avoid incorrect tire inflation
pressure, if possible only inflate the
tires when they are cold. The tires are
considered to be cold when they have
the same temperature as the sur-
rounding (ambient) air. This tempera-
ture is normally reached after the vehi-
cle has been parked for at least
3 hours. After driving a distance of
approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires
are considered to be hot.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall
the valve cap to help avoid damage to
the valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
•
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal
caps could corrode and become diffi-
cult to remove.
WARNING
•
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead
to tire failure, resulting in a loss of con-
trol of the vehicle.
•
Tire monitoring systems cannot indi-
cate sudden tire damage caused by
external factors (e.g., a blowout) in
advance.
