2007 JEEP COMMANDER tire size

NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with a non-matching
full size spare tire, a low non-matching full size spare tire
will not display any text messages, or cause the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to illuminate or the
chime to sound.
NOTE:Your system can be set to display pressure units
in PSI, kPa, or BAR.Should a low tire condition occur on any of the four
active road tire(s), you should stop as soon as possible,
and inflate the low tire(s) that is flashing on the graphic
display to the vehicle’s recommended cold tire pressure.
The system will automatically update, the graphic dis-
play of the pressure value(s) will stop flashing, and the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will extinguish
once the updated tire pressure(s) have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information.
Service Tire Pressure System
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash
on and off for 60 seconds, and an audible chime will
sound when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle
will repeat every ten minutes, without an audible chime,
until the fault condition no longer exists.

The EVIC will display the “SERVICE TIRE PRESS. SYS-
TEM” message for 3 seconds. This text message is then
followed by a graphic, with “- -“ displayed for the pressure
value(s) indicating which of the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Sensor(s) is not being received. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual.
NOTE:Your system can be set to display pressure units
in PSI, kPa, or BAR.If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault
no longer exists, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will no longer flash, theSERVICE TIRE PRESS.
SYSTEMtext message will no longer display, and a
pressure value will be displayed instead of dashes.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with a matching full
size spare tire, it has a tire pressure monitoring sensor,
and can be monitored by the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS). In the event that the matching full size
spare tire is swapped with a low pressure road tire, the
next ignition key cycle will still show the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” to be ON, a chime to sound, a
Low Pressure message to appear in the EVIC, and the
graphic display will still show the low tire pressure value
flashing. Driving the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) will turn OFF the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” as long as the matching full
size spare tire or any other road tire(s) are not below the
304 STARTING AND OPERATING

low pressure warning threshold. The EVIC will display a
“Spare Low Pressure” text message, and the graphic
display will show a new tire pressure value in place of
the flashing low tire pressure value.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with a non-matching
full size spare tire, it does not have a tire pressure
monitoring sensor. Therefore, it will not be monitored by
the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). In the event
that the non-matching full size spare tire is swapped with
a low pressure road tire, every ignition key cycle will still
show the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” to be
ON, a chime to sound, a Low Pressure message to appear
in the EVIC, and the graphic display will still show the
low tire pressure value flashing. After the original road
tire has been properly repaired and put back onto the
vehicle in place of the non-matching full size spare tire,
the TPMS will update the graphic display on the EVIC
with a new tire pressure value instead of the flashing low
tire pressure value, and the “Tire Pressure MonitoringTelltale Light” will be OFF as long as none of the road
tire(s) are below the low pressure warning threshold. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information.
CAUTION!
The 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 equip-
ment 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.

Each axle GAWR is determined by the components in the
system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle,
springs, tires or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension
components sometimes specified by purchasers for in-
creased durability does not necessarily increase the vehi-
cle’s GVWR.
Tire Size
The tire size on the Label represents the actual tire size on
your vehicle. Replacement tires must be equal to the load
capacity of this tire size.
Rim Size
This is the rim size that is appropriate for the tire size
listed.
Inflation Pressure
This is the cold tire inflation pressure for your vehicle for
all loading conditions up to full GAWR.
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight
of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full
capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo
loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb weight
values are determined by weighing your vehicle on a
commercial scale before any occupants or cargo are
added.
Loading
The actual total weight and the weight of the front and
rear of your vehicle at the ground can best be determined
by weighing it when it is loaded and ready for operation.
The entire vehicle should first be weighed on a commer-
cial scale to insure that the GVWR has not been exceeded.
The weight on the front and rear of the vehicle should
then be determined separately to be sure that the load is
properly distributed over front and rear axle. Weighing
the vehicle may show that the GAWR of either the front
