Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses radio
and sensor technology to check tire pressure levels.
Sensors, mounted on each road wheel, transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the trunk.
Tire pressure status and tire pressure warnings are
shown on the Driver Information Center (DIC) display.
SeeDriver Information Center (DIC) on page 3-62,
for details regarding DIC controls and displays.
The system operates on a radio frequency subject to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
with Industry and Science Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modi cations to this system by anyone
other than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
If the TPM system detects low tire pressure, below
25 psi (172 kPa), or high tire pressure, above 38 psi
(262 kPa), a message, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, will
appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
display. By pressing the INFO button, the DIC screen
will show which tire(s) has the low or high pressure
condition. SeeIn ation - Tire Pressure on page 5-74for
information regarding correct tire in ation. If a tire is
low, you should stop as soon as possible and check all
your tires for damage. If a tire is at, seeIf a Tire
Goes Flat on page 5-85.
