Tire Pressure Monitor
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when a sig-nificant reduction in pressure occurs in one or more of the vehicle’s tires. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is corrected. The proper tire pre\
ssures for the vehicle 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 when the vehicle is first started and then turns off as the vehicle is driven in cooler temperatures, check for the proper tire pressures.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire pressure, but it\
doesn’t replace normal monthly tire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures.
