_& WARNING 
Temperature  grades  apply  to  tires  that  are 
properly  inflated  and  not  over  or  underinf lat 
ed. 
Tire  pressure  monitoring  system 
U) General  notes 
Applies  to:  vehicles with  tire  pressure  monito ring  system 
Each  tire, including  the spare  (if  provided), 
should  be  checked  monthly  when  cold  and  inflat
ed  to  the  inflation  pressure  recommended  by the 
vehicle  manufacturer  on  the  vehicle placard  or 
tire  inflat ion  pressure  label.  (If  your vehicle  has 
tires  of  a different  size  than  the  size  indicated  on 
the  vehicle  placard  or tire  inflation  pressure  la
bel,  you  should  determine  the  proper  tire  infla
tion  pressure  fo r those  tir es) . 
As an  added  safety  feature,  your  vehicle  has  been 
equipped  with  a t ire  pressure  monitoring  system 
(TPMS) that  illuminates  a  low tire  pressure  tell
tale  when  one  or  more  of your  tires is significant
ly  under-inflated . Accord ingly,  when  the  low tire 
p ressure  telltale  illuminates,  you  should  stop  and 
check  your  tires  as  soon  as  possible,  and  inflate 
them  to  the  proper  pressure.  Driving on  a signifi
cantly  under-inflated  tire  causes the  tire  to  over
heat  and  can  lead to  tire failure.  Under-inflation 
also  reduces  fuel  efficiency  and  tire tread  life, 
and  may  affect  the  vehicle's  handling  and  stop
ping  ability. 
Please  note  that  the TPMS  is  not  a  substitute  for 
proper  tire maintenance,  and  it  is the  driver's  re
sponsib ility to  maintain  correct  tire  pressure, 
even  if under-inflation  has  not  reached  the  level 
to  trigger  illumination  of the  TPMS low tire  pres
sure  telltale. 
Your vehicle  has  also  been  equipped  with  a  TPMS 
malfunct ion  indicator  to  indicate when  the  sys
tem  is  not  operating  properly.  The  TPMS mal
function  indicator  is comb ined  w ith  the  low tire 
pressure  telltale. When  the  system  detects  a 
malfunction,  the  telltale  will flash  for  approxi
mately  one  minute  and  then  remain  cont inuous ly 
illuminated.  This sequence  will continue  upon 
254 
subsequent  vehicle  start-ups  as  long as  the  mal
function  exists. 
When  the malfunction  indicator  is  illum inated, 
the  system  may  not  be  able to  detect  or s ignal 
low  tire  pressure  as  intended . TPMS malfunctions 
may  occur  for  a variety  of  reasons,  including  the 
i nstallation  of  replacement  or  alternate  tires  or 
wheels  on  the vehicle  that  prevent  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 
whee ls  allow  the  TPMS to  continue  to  function 
properly. 
If  the  Tire  Pressure Monitoring  System 
indicator  appears 
Applies  to:  vehicles with  tire  pressure  monitoring  system 
The tire pressure  indicator in the  instrument 
cluster  informs you  if the  tire pressure  is too  low 
or  if there  is a system  malfunction. 
Fig . 209 Instrument  cl uste r:  indicator  light  with  me ssage 
Using  the  ABS sensors,  the  tire  pressure  monitor
ing  system  compares  the  tire  tread  c ircumfer
ence  and  v ibration  characteristics  of  the  individu
al  tires. 
If the  pressure  changes in  one  or  more 
ti res,  this  is ind icated  in the  instrument  cluster 
display  with  an  indicator  light 
[I] and  a  message. 
If  only  one  tire  is affected,  the locat ion of that 
tire  will  be  indicated. 
The  tire pressures  must  be  stored  in  the  Infotain
ment  system  again  each time  the  pressures 
change  (switching  between  partial  and  full  load 
pressure)  or  after  changing  or  replacing a  tire  on 
your  vehicle ¢ 
page  255. The tire pressure  moni
tor ing  system  only  monitors  the  tire pressure  you 
have  stored . Refer  to  the  t ire  pressure  label  for  ..,.
