Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink
A tire pressure is significantly low. If there is a problem with the TPMS
or the compact spare tire is installed, the indicator blinks for about one
minute, and then stays on. What to do when the indicator comes on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label
on the driver side doorjamb. What to do when the indicator blinks
Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire has triggered the indicator to blink, change the tire to a full
size tire. The indicator goes off after a while.
If the Low Tire Pressure/ TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks NOTICE Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause
it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always
inflate your tires to the prescribed level.
