NOTICE
[  It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard tire pressure specification if colder 
temperatures are expected soon.
Tires typically loose 1psi (7kPa) for every 12°F temperature drop. If extreme 
temperature variations are expected, recheck your tire pressure as necessary to 
keep them properly inflated.
[  An air pressure generally decreases, as you drive up to a high-altitude area above 
sea level. Thus, if you plan to drive a high-altitude area, check the tire pressures 
in advance. If necessary, inflate them to a proper level. (Air inflation per altitude: 
+2.4 psi/1 mile)
 CAUTION
[ When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or not work properly.
[  When replacing tires, ALWAYS use the same size, type, construction and tread 
pattern supplied with the vehicle for all tires.

(1)  Low Tire Pressure / TPMS Malfunction Indicator Lamp
 WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation can 
reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle 
handling, and lead to sudden tire failure 
that may cause loss of vehicle control 
resulting in an accident.
Each tire, including the spare (if 
provided), should be checked monthly 
when cold and inflated to the inflation 
pressure recommended by the vehicle 
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or 
tire inflation pressure label. A cold tire 
means the vehicle has been sitting for 3 
hours and driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 
km) in that 3 hour period.
Allow the tire to cool before measuring 
the inflation pressure. Always be sure 
the tire is cold before inflating to the 
recommended pressure. If your vehicle 
has tires of a different size than the 
size indicated on the vehicle placard or 
tire inflation pressure label, you should 
determine the proper tire inflation 
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-inflated tire causes 
the tire to overheat and can lead to tire 
failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel 
efficiency and tire tread life, and may 
affect the vehicle’s handling and 
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a 
substitute for proper tire maintenance, 
and it is the driver’s responsibility to 
maintain correct tire pressure, even if 
under-inflation has not reached the level 
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low 
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with 
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate 
when the system is not operating 
properly. The TPMS malfunction 
indicator is combined with the low 
tire pressure telltale. When the system 
detects a malfunction, the telltale will 
flash for approximately one minute and 
then remain continuously illuminated. 
This sequence will continue upon 
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as 
the malfunction exists.
