and Loading Information label. See

and Inflation - Tire Pressure on

Tire Pressure Monitor
System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
(TPMS) uses radio and sensor
technology to check tire pressure
levels. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires
and transmit tire pressure readings to
a receiver located in the vehicle.
Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and in ated to the
in ation pressure recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire in ation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire in ation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
in ation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is signi cantly
under-in ated.
