Tire pressure monitoring system
Applies to veh ic les: with tir e pr essure monitor in g system
General notes
As an adde d safe ty feature, your vehicle has been equ ipped wit h a
tire pressure monitoring sys tem (TPMS) that i lluminates a low tire
pressure te llta le when one or more of your tires is significant ly
under-inflated . The TPMS only provides a low tire pressure warning
and does not reinflate your tires.
According ly, when the low tire pressure te llta le i llum inates, you
shou ld stop and check your tires as soon as possib le, and infla te
them to the proper pressure . Driv ing on a significantly under
inf lated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under -inflation a lso reduces fue l efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle 's hand ling and stopping ab ility .
0 Note
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance , and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct
..,_

Fig. 39 Center display :
starting menu
In order for the tire pressure monitoring system to operate
accurately, you have to re-save the specified pressures
whenever you adjust tire pressure, for example, when the load condition of your vehicle changes. Proceed as follows:
Correct the tire pressure
- check the pressure in the tires (including the spare tire),
- adjust the air pressure as needed in accordance with the
information on the tire pressure label.
Reset the system
Push the [RESET] button=> page 48, fig. 38 until Display

Following each intentional change in specified pressures , tire pres
sures must be resaved .
Af ter the pressures are saved, the tire pressure monitoring system
measures the current tire pressures and saves them as the new
specified pressures .
[ i] Tips
• The tire pressure is shown on the tire pressure label. On USA
vehic les, the tire pressure label is located on the driver's side 8-
pillar. On Canada vehicles, the tire pressure labe l is located either on
the driver's side 8 -pillar or inside the fuel filler flap . The tire pressure
label lists the recommended cold tire inflation pressures for the
vehicle at its maximum capacity weight and the tires that were on
your vehicle at the time it was manufactured. For recommended tire
pressures for normal load cond itions, please see chapter
~ page 297.
• The tire pressure monitoring system he lps the driver to keep an
eye on tire pressures. But the driver stil l has the responsibility for
mainta ining the correct tire pressure. •
