Service Tire System Soon
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will flash on
and off for 60 seconds in the instrument cluster, and an
audible chime will be activated when one or more of the
four active road tire pressures are low.
In addition the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display a“SERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOON”
text message. The flash cycle will repeat every ten
minutes, without an audible chime, until the condition no
longer exists. The flash cycle sequence will repeat and an
audible chime will sound once every ignition cycle for
each condition that it detects.
NOTE:If a temporary spare tire is in use and none of
the remaining 3 active road tire pressures are low, a
“SERVICE TIRE SYSTEM SOONtextual message will
appear in the EVIC after 10 minutes of driving,CAUTION!
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System has been op-
timized for the original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPM System, as damage to the sensors may result.
312 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE:Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare
wheel and tire assembly that does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, it will not be monitored by
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. In the event that a
compact spare tire is used to replace a low pressure road
tire, the next ignition key cycle will still show the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Lamp to be ON, a Chime will
sound, and the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will still show the low tire pressure value flashing
on the graphic display. This sequence will repeat for
every key cycle until the original Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System (TPMS) tire has been properly repaired (or
replaced) and put back on the vehicle in place of the
compact spare tire.CAUTION!
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) has
been optimized for the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for
the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not of the same
size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can
cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a
can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped
with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
