Check the tire pressureperiodically (at least monthly)using an accurate tire gauge. SeeWhen Inflating Your Tires in thischapter.
Understanding Your TirePressure Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoringsystem measures pressure in yourroad tires and sends the tirepressure readings to your vehicle.You can view the tire pressurereadings through the informationdisplay. See GeneralInformation (page 104).The lowtire pressure warning light will turnon if the tire pressure issignificantly low. Once the light isilluminated, your tires are
under-inflated and need to beinflated to the manufacturer’srecommended tire pressure. Evenif the light turns on and a shorttime later turns off, your tirepressure still needs to be checked.
When Your Temporary SpareTire is Installed
When one of your road tires needsto be replaced with the temporaryspare, the system will continue toidentify an issue to remind youthat the damaged road wheel andtire assembly needs to be repairedand put back on your vehicle.
To restore the full function of thetire pressure monitoring system,have the damaged road wheeland tire assembly repaired and
remounted on your vehicle.
When You Believe Your Systemis Not Operating Properly
The main function of the tirepressure monitoring system is towarn you when your tires need air.It can also warn you in the eventthe system is no longer capableof functioning as intended. Seethe following chart for informationconcerning your tire pressuremonitoring system:

Make sure tires are at the properpressure. See Inflating your tiresin this chapter. After inflatingyour tires to the manufacturer’srecommended pressure asshown on the Tire Label (locatedon the edge of driver’s door orthe B-Pillar), the vehicle must bedriven for at least two minutesover 20 mph (32 km/h) beforethe light turns off.

When Inflating Your Tires
WARNING: Do not use thetire pressure displayed in theinformation display as a tirepressure gauge. Failure to followthis instruction could result inpersonal injury or death.
When putting air into your tires(such as at a gas station or in yourgarage), the tire pressuremonitoring system may notrespond immediately to the airadded to your tires.
It may take up to two minutes ofdriving over 20 mph (32 km/h) forthe light to turn off after you havefilled your tires to therecommended inflation pressure.
How Temperature Affects YourTire Pressure
The tire pressure monitoringsystem monitors tire pressure ineach pneumatic tire. While drivingin a normal manner, a typicalpassenger tire inflation pressuremay increase about 2–4 psi(14–28 kPa) from a cold startsituation. If the vehicle is
stationary overnight with theoutside temperature significantlylower than the daytimetemperature, the tire pressure maydecrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) fora drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambienttemperature. This lower pressurevalue may be detected by the tirepressure monitoring system asbeing significantly lower than therecommended inflation pressureand activate the system warninglight for low tire pressure. If thelow tire pressure warning light ison, visually check each tire toverify that no tire is flat. If one ormore tires are flat, repair asnecessary. Check the air pressurein the road tires. If any tire isunder-inflated, carefully drive thevehicle to the nearest locationwhere air can be added to thetires. Inflate all the tires to therecommended inflation pressure.

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
WARNING: The tire pressuremonitoring system is not a substitute formanually checking tire pressures. Youshould periodically check tire pressuresusing a pressure gauge. Failure tocorrectly maintain tire pressures couldincrease the risk of tire failure, loss ofcontrol, vehicle rollover and personalinjury.
Note:Only use tire sealants in roadsideemergencies as they may cause damage tothe tire pressure monitoring system sensor.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring systemindicator light illuminates when the sparetire is in use. To restore the full function ofthe monitoring system, all road wheelsequipped with tire pressure monitoringsensors must be mounted on your vehicle.
If you get a flat tire when driving, do notheavily apply the brake. Instead, graduallydecrease your speed. Firmly hold thesteering wheel and slowly move to a safeplace on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorizeddealer in order to prevent damage to thetire pressure monitoring system sensors.See Tire Pressure Monitoring System(page 327). Replace the spare tire with aroad tire as soon as possible. Duringrepairing or replacing of the flat tire, havethe authorized dealer inspect the tirepressure monitoring system sensor fordamage.
Dissimilar Spare Wheel and TireAssembly Information
WARNING: Failure to follow theseguidelines could result in an increasedrisk of loss of vehicle control, injury ordeath.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel andtire, then it is intended for temporary useonly. This means that if you need to use it,you should replace it as soon as possiblewith a road wheel and tire assembly thatis the same size and type as the road tiresand wheels that we provided with yourvehicle. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheelis damaged, replace it instead of repairingit.
A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assemblyis defined as a spare wheel and tireassembly that is different in brand, size orappearance from the road tires and wheelsand can be one of three types:
1.T-type mini-spare: This spare tirebegins with the letter T for tire size andmay have Temporary Use Only molded inthe sidewall.
2.Full-size dissimilar spare with labelon wheel: This spare tire has a label onthe wheel that states: THIS WHEEL ANDTIRE ASSEMBLY FOR TEMPORARY USEONLY.
When driving with one of the dissimilarspare tires listed above, do not:
•Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
•Load your vehicle beyond maximumvehicle load rating listed on the SafetyCompliance Label.
•Tow a trailer.
•Use snow chains on the end of yourvehicle with the dissimilar spare tire.
•Use more than one dissimilar spare tireat a time.
