TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
This vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure
monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all
tires except the spare. When the low tire pres-
sure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. If equipped, the sys-
tem also displays pressure of all tires (except the
spare tire) on the display screen by sending a
signal from a sensor that is installed in each
wheel. If the vehicle is being driven with low tire
pressure, the tire pressure monitoring system will
activate and warn you of it by the low tire pressure
warning light. This system will activate only when
the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(26 km/h) . For more details, refer to
“Warning/indicator lights and audible reminders”
in the “Instruments and controls” section, “Tire
pressure information” in the “Display screen,
heater, air conditioner and audio systems” sec-
tion and “Tire pressure monitoring system” in the
“Starting and driving” section.
