2015 Ram ProMaster TPMS

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper
tire maintenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction strategy to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the low tire pressure telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the low tire pressure telltale is illuminated, the system
may not be able to detect or signal 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 prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the
TPMS telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels
on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.

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 opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an after-
market tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have your
sensor function checked.NOTE:
The TPMS telltale is also accompanied by a “Low
Tire” message in the Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC). Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) in “Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
26. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to
ON/RUN, during the first six seconds from
key ON, if the driver ’s seat belt is unbuckled, a
continuous chime will sound and the light will
be ON. After the first six seconds or when driving, if the
driver ’s seat belt remains unbuckled, the seat belt re-
minder light will flash or remain on continuously. This
light also indicates if the front passengers are buckled or
not (when the vehicle is equipped with the seat belt alert
also for passenger/passengers).
