cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel

handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale. (See page 268 for more infor-
mation.)
