If you have a flat tire, see the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) . It
monitors tire pressure of all tires except
the spare. When the low tire pressure
warning light is lit or flashing continuously,
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. If equipped, the system
also displays pressure of all tires (except
the spare tire) on the display screen by
sending a signal from a sensor that is
installed in each wheel.
The TPMS will activate only when the
vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH
(25 km/h) . Also, this system may not de-
tect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for
example a flat tire while driving) .
For more details, refer to “Low tire pres-
sure warning light” in the “Instruments and
controls” section, “Tire pressure informa-
tion” in the “Display screen, heater, airconditioner and audio and phone sys-
tems” section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section, and “Flat tire” in the “In case
of emergency” section.Tire inflation pressure
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) often and always prior to long dis-
tance trips. The recommended tire pres-
sure specifications are shown on the
F.M.V.S.S./C.M.V.S.S. label or the Tire
and Loading Information label under the
9Cold Tire Pressure9heading. The Tire
and Loading Information label is affixed to
the driver side center pillar. Tire pressures
should be checked regularly because:
cMost tires naturally lose air over time.
cTires can lose air suddenly when
driven over potholes or other objects
or if the vehicle strikes a curb while
parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle hasbeen parked for 3 or more hours, or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds.
If the tires are used at speeds above 100
mph (162 km/h) where it is legal to do so
(on a race track for example) , the cold tire
inflation pressure must be increased. Re-
fer to9Checking tire pressure9later in this
section.
Set the tire pressure to the normal cold
tire inflation pressure when the vehicle
speed or load is reduced.
Incorrect tire pressure, including un-
der inflation, may adversely affect
tire life and vehicle handling.
WARNING
cImproperly inflated tires can fail
suddenly and cause an accident.
