uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Instead of directly measuring the pressu re in each tire, the TPMS on this vehicle 
monitors and compares the rolling radius  and rotational characteristics of each 
wheel and tire while you are driving to determine if one or more tires are 
significantly under-inflated. This will caus e the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to 
come on and a message to appear on  the driver information interface
*.
You must start TPMS calibration every time you:
• Adjust the pressure in one or more tires.
• Rotate the tires.
• Replace one or more tires.
Before calibrating the TPMS:
• Set the cold tire pressu re in all four tires.
2Checking Tires  P. 516

•The vehicle is at a complete stop.

■TPMS Calibration
U.S. models
1 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The system does not monitor the tires when driving 
at low speed.
Conditions such as low  ambient temperature and 
altitude change directly a ffect tire pressure and can 
trigger the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator to come on.
Tire pressure checked and inflated in:
•Warm weather can beco me under-inflated in 
colder weather.
•Cold weather can become  over-inflated in warmer 
weather.
The low tire pressure indica tor will not come on as a 
result of over inflation.
The TPMS may not function pr operly if tire type and 
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and 
type of tire. 2 Checking and Maintaining Tires  P. 516
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on 
with a delay or may not come on at all when:
•You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the 
steering wheel.
•You drive on snowy or slippery roads.•Snow chains are used.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on 
under the following conditions:
•A compact spare tire is used.•There is a heavier and une ven load on the tires, 
such as when towing a trailer, than the condition at 
calibration.
•Snow chains are used.

uuWhen Driving uTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving
Press and hold the TPMS button until the low 
tire pressure/TPMS indicator blinks twice, 
indicating the calibration process has begun.
• If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator does 
not blink, confirm the above conditions 
then press and hold the TPMS button again.
• The calibration process finishes 
automatically.
1TPMS Calibration
•TPMS cannot be calibrated if  a compact spare tire is 
installed.
•The calibration process  requires approximately 30 
minutes of cumulative dr iving at speeds between 
30-65 mph (48-105 km/h).
•During calibration, if the ignition is turned off then 
on again, and the vehicle is not moved within 45 
seconds, the low tire pres sure indicator may come 
on briefly. This is norma l and indicates that the 
calibration process is  not yet complete.
If the snow chains are installed, remove them before 
calibrating the TPMS.
If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on even 
when the properly inflated specified regular tires are 
installed, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer.
We recommend that the tires be replaced with the 
same brand, model, and size  as the originals. Ask a 
dealer for details.
The low tire pressure/TPMS indicator may come on 
after re-connecting the battery. Drive a short distance 
at more than 12 mph (20 km/h). The indicator should 
go off. If it does not, have your vehicle checked by a 
dealer.

Continued
Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring  System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked 
monthly when cold and inflated  to the inflation pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufa cturer on the vehicle placard 
or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a diff erent size than the size indicated 
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should 
determine the proper tire inflat ion 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 illuminates, you 
should stop and check your tires  as soon as possible, and inflate 
them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inf lated tire causes the tire to 
overheat and can lead to tire fail ure. Under-inflation also reduces 
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect  the vehicle's 
handling and stopping ability.
