What to Do
How It Works
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
Monitors the vehicle’s tire pressures.
Each tire valve stem contains
a TPMS sensor.
When the tire pressure drops
significantly below recommended
levels, the low tire pressure
indicator comes on.
NOTE: On vehicles with MID, a
message also appears on the display.
If the TPMS indicator appears, there
may be a problem with the system.
See your dealer.
