Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will illuminate in the instrument cluster, an
audible chime will be activated, and the
“Check tire pressure” text message will dis-
play when one or more of the four active road
tire pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle,
and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The
system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Light will extinguish
once the updated tire pressures have been
received. The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
remain on solid when a system fault is de-
tected, an audible chime will be activated
and a proper text message will be displayed.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence
will repeat providing the system fault stillexists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will turn off when the fault condition no
longer exists. A system fault can occur with
any of the following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driv-
ing next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPM sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket win- dow tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE:
Your vehicle can be equipped with either Tire
Service Kit, compact spare tire or regular size
spare tire (with or without original TPMS
sensor).
1. Tire Service Kit (original tire sealant – if equipped): After fixing the punctured tire
with original tire sealant, the original situ-
ation will be restored, so system will turn
off the telltale during the normal drive. 2. Compact Spare Tire – if equipped: The
compact spare wheel is not equipped with
TPMS sensor. So when mounted, during
the normal drive the system will turn on
the telltale (flashing for approximately
75 sec. then remains solid). This condi-
tion persists until a wheel equipped with
original TPMS sensor has been mounted
on the vehicle.
3. Regular size spare tire (not equipped with TPMS sensor): When mounted, during the
normal drive the system will turn on the
telltale (flashing for approximately
75 sec. then remains solid). This condi-
tion persists until a wheel equipped with
original TPMS sensor has been mounted
on the vehicle. Then the system will be
restored and the telltale will turn off dur-
ing the normal drive.
4. Regular size spare tire (equipped with TPMS sensor): When mounted, the tell-
tale will turn off during the normal drive.
5. In all the above cases please check the replacement tire inflation pressure before
driving your vehicle.
