The Tire Pressure Monitoring System on your vehicle has two different tire pressure
settings based on vehicle loading. The Tire Light Load Switch is located on the
Instrument Panel below the climate controls.
• The “Light Load Inflation” and “Max Load Inflation” tire pressures recommended for your vehicle based on vehicle loading are found on the Supplemental Tire
Pressure Information Label located on the rear face of the driver front door.
•
When the vehicle is in the “Light Load Inflation” setting, the Tire Light Load Inflation

• If the light on the switch flashes On and Off, after the button is pressed to switch
between modes, this indicates conditions are not correct to switch modes. The system
