•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect orsignal low tire pressure as intended .TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that pre-
vent the TPMS from functioning properly .Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after
replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly .
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter .Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is
32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle .
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style .Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage .Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the
parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake
System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately .
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle .You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately .
- 12 Volt Charging System Light
•This light shows the status of the 12 Volt electrical charging system .If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system .
•We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
