Tire Pressure Monitoring
System
í
The tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) monitors the pressure for each
tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more
tires, the system will inform the driver via
the warning light in the instrument panel
and by the warning beep sound.
The tire pressure sensors installed on each
wheel send tire pressure data by radio
signal to the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tire pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to
seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also
lower. If the tire temperature lowers, the air
pressure lowers as well, and the TPMS
warning light illuminates more frequently.
Inspect the tire pressure dailybeforedriving,
and check the tire pressures monthly with a tire
pressure gauge. When checking the tire
pressures, use of a digital tire pressure gauge
is recommended.
TPMS does not alleviate your need to
check the pressure and condition of all
four tires before you drive each day.
