The Low Tire Pressurewarning light illuminates on the instrument cluster when a
significant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of the vehicle’s tires. It will remain
on until the tire pressure is corrected. Current tire pressures can be displayed using
the Driver Information Center. Proper tire pressures are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver’s door latch.
Tire pressure is affected by cold weather and distance driven. If the low tire pressure warn-
ing light illuminates and then turns off as the vehicle is driven in cooler temperatures, check
for the proper tire pressures. Maintaining tire pressures also is important for fuel economy.
