Checking tire pressure electronically
with the Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem (TPMS)* (vehicles without steering
wheel buttons)
Vehicles without steering wheel buttons
are equipped with the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring System.
The TPMS only functions on wheels that
are equipped with the proper electronic
sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pres-
sure, as selected by the driver, in all four
tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a
decrease in pressure in one or more of the
tires.
!CAUTION
After inspecting or adjusting the tire in-
flation pressure, always reattach the
valve cap if equipped.
This will prevent moisture and dirt from
entering the valve stem, which could
damage the valve stem.
i
USA only:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a combination
low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction
telltale in the instrument cluster
(୴ page 14). Depending on how the
telltale illuminates, it indicates a low
tire pressure condition or a malfunction
in the TPMS system itself:
ț If the telltale illuminates continu-
ously, one or more of your tires is
significantly underinflated. There is
no malfunction in the TPMS.
ț If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds
and then stays illuminated, the
TPMS system itself is not operating
properly.
i
Canada only:
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a low tire pres-
sure telltale in the instrument cluster
(୴ page 14). If the telltale illuminates,
one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated.
Warning G
The TPMS does not warn you against incor-
rectly selected tire inflation pressure and
does not warn you when the tire pressure is
not properly selected for the respective ve-
hicle load. It warns you only when the pres-
sure of one or more tires decreases
significantly below the reference inflation
