When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the
TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure warning
symbol located on the instrument panel cluster.
If your vehicle has the DIC feature, a message to
check the pressure in a specific tire will also appear
on the DIC display. The low tire pressure warning
symbol on the instrument panel cluster and the
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message on
the DIC display will appear at each ignition cycle
until the tires are inflated to the correct inflation
pressure. For additional information and details
about the DIC operation and displays see DIC
Operation and Displays on page 243 and DIC
Warnings and Messages on page 248.
You may notice, during cooler weather conditions,
that the tire pressure monitor light, located on
the instrument panel cluster, and the CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message will appear when the
vehicle is first started and then turn off as you
start to drive the vehicle. This could be an early
indicator that the tire pressures are getting low and
need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
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. (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.
