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 System Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when
a system fault is detected, an audible chime will be
activated and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Unavailable”
text message will display. If the ignition key is cycled, this
sequence will repeat providing the system fault still exists.
The TPMS Warning 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 driving next tofacilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPM
sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window 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 is equipped with a regular size spare
wheel.
1. The spare tire has a tire pressure monitoring sensor, but it is not monitored until it is mounted in place of any of
the existing four road tires.
2. If you install the spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, upon
the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the
TPMS Warning Light will turn ON due to the low tire
condition. Then, after driving the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the system will
recognize the new sensor, and turn off the telltale.
3. If a spare tire not equipped with tire pressure monitor- ing sensor is used, then the TPMS Warning Light will
turn ON, flashing for 75 seconds and then remaining
solid for each subsequent ignition key cycle.
NOTE: For correct Tire Pressure Monitoring behavior,
please wait for about 20 minutes in key-off during each tire
substitution.
