INSPECTING THE WHEEL VALVE
STEMS
Check the valve stems for holes, cracks,or cuts that could permit air leakage.
TIRE ROTATION

Always performthe system reset procedure after tirerotation. If you do not reset the system,it may not provide a low tire pressurewarning when necessary.
Rotating your tires at the recommendedinterval will help your tires wear moreevenly, providing better tire performanceand longer tire life.
Note:If your tires show any unevenwear have the alignment checked byan authorized dealer before rotatingtires.
Note:If you have a dissimilar sparewheel and tire assembly, it is intendedfor temporary use only and should notbe used in a tire rotation.
Note:After having your tires rotated,inflation pressure must be checked andadjusted to the vehicle requirements.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
When the outside temperature dropssignificantly, the tire pressure could decreaseand activate the low tire pressure warninglamp.
The warning lamp could also illuminate whenyou use a spare wheel, or tire sealant fromthe inflator kit.
Note:Regularly checking the vehicle tirepressures can reduce the possibility for thewarning lamp to illuminate due to outsideair temperature changes.
Note:After you inflate the tires to therecommended pressure it could take up totwo minutes of driving over 20 mph (32 km/h)for the warning indicator to turn off.

CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
If you get a flat tire when driving, do notapply the brake heavily. nstead, graduallydecrease your speed, hold the steeringwheel firmly and slowly move to a safe placeon the side of the road.
Have the flat serviced by an authorizeddealer to prevent damage to the systemsensors. See Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (page 453). Replace the spare tirewith a road tire as soon as possible. Duringrepairing or replacing of the flat tire, havethe authorized dealer inspect the systemsensor for damage.
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 wheels withtire pressure monitoring sensors must bemounted on this vehicle.
Dissimilar Spare Wheel and TireAssembly Information
WARNING: Failure to follow theseguidelines could result in an increased riskof loss of vehicle control, injury or death.
