The TPM sensor matching procedure is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON with the engine off.
3. Turn the exterior lamp switch from AUTO to
ON four times within three seconds. A double horn
chirp will sound and the TPMS low tire warning
light will begin to ash. The double horn chirp and
ashing TPMS warning light indicates the TPM
matching process has started. The TPMS warning
light should continue ashing throughout the
matching procedure. The SERV TPM message will
be displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC).
4. Start with the left (driver’s side) front tire.
5. Remove the valve cap from the valve cap stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for 10 seconds,
then stop and listen for a single horn chirp.
The single horn chirp should sound within
15 seconds, con rming that the sensor identi cation
code has been matched to this tire and wheel
position. If you do not hear the con rming single
horn chirp, you will need to start over with step
number one. To let air-pressure out of a tire you can
use the pointy end of the valve cap, a pencil-style
air pressure gage or a key.6. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) front tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the right (passenger’s side) rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the left (driver’s side) rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
9. After hearing the con rming horn chirp for the left
rear tire, check to see if the TPMS warning light is
still ashing. If yes, turn the ignition switch to LOCK.
10. Set all four tires to the recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information label.
11. Put the valve caps back on the valve stems.

Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes at, avoid further tire and wheel damage
by driving slowly to a level place. Turn on your
hazard warning ashers.
{CAUTION:
Changing a tire can be dangerous. The vehicle
can slip off the jack and roll over or fall on you
or other people. You and they could be badly
injured or even killed. Find a level place to
change your tire. To help prevent the vehicle
from moving:
1. Set the parking brake rmly.
2. Put an automatic transmission shift lever
in PARK (P), or shift a manual
transmission to FIRST (1) or REVERSE (R).
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
3. If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle,
be sure the transfer case is in a drive
gear – not in NEUTRAL.
4. Turn off the engine and do not restart
while the vehicle is raised.
5. Do not allow passengers to remain in the
vehicle.
To be even more certain the vehicle will not
move, put blocks at the front and rear of the
tire farthest away from the one being changed.
That would be the tire on the other side, at the
opposite end of the vehicle.
