(TPMS) is equipped with a combination low tire
pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale in the in-
strument cluster (
page 29). Depending on
how the telltale illuminates, it indicates a low tire
pressure condition or a malfunction in the TPMS
system itself:


If the telltale illuminates continuously, one
or more of your tires is significantly under-in-
flated. There is no malfunction in the TPMS.


If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds and
then stays illuminated, the TPMS system it-
self is not operating properly.
