Handling the Unexpected
If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or

■Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink
A tire pressure is significantly low. If there is a problem with the TPMS or
the compact spare tire

minute, and then stays on.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Ch eck the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The sp ecified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver’s side doorjamb.
■What to do when the indicator blinks
