Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the
engine and monitors the pressure in
your tires while driving. Al
though your tire pressure is
monito red, you must manually check
thetirepressuresmonthly.
Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold, and
set to the recommended inflation
pressure as specified on the vehicle
placard and in the owner’s manual
(see page ).
Driving on a signifi cantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to
ov erheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-infl ation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability. When
the low tire pressure indicator
is on, one or more of your tires is
signifi cantly underinflated. You
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s tire information placard.
Each
tire has its own pressure
sensor. If the air pressure of a tire
becomes significantly low, the
sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure indicator to come on.
With this indicator on, you will see
which tire is losing the pressu re on
the multi-information display along
with a ‘‘CHECK TIRE PRESSU RE’’
message (see page ).
With
this indicator on, you will see
which tire is losing the pressu re on
thetirepressure monitor(seepage

If the low tire pressure indicator
comes on, or the multi -information
display shows a ‘‘CHECK TPMS

the VSA system is turned off by
pressing the VSA OFF switch (see
page ). If this happens, you

FUNCTION ERROR’’ message. The
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
Also, the tire pressure readings will
not be displayed. Have your vehicle
checked by a dealer as soon as
possible. 316As required by the FCC:
