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,
evenifunder-inflationhasnot reachedthelevelto
trigger illumination ofthe TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operatingproperly. The TPMS mal-
function indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.When themalfunction indicatoris
illuminated, the system maynot be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alter-
nate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMSmalfunction telltale after replac-
ing oneor more tires orwheels on yourvehicle to
ensurethat thereplacement oralternate tiresand
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.
Additional information:
● The TPMS does not monitor the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
● TheTPMSwill activateonlywhenthe vehicle
is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25
km/h). Also, this system may not detect a
sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a
flat tire while driving).
● The low tire pressure warning light does not
automatically turn off when the tire pressure
is adjusted. After all 4 tires are is inflated to
the recommended pressure, the vehicle
mustbedrivenatspeedsabove16MPH(25
km/h) to activate the TPMS and turn off the
low tire pressure warning light. Use a tire
pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.
● The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning ap-
pearsinthe vehicleinformationdisplaywhen
the low tire pressure warning light is illumi-
nated and low tire pressureis detected. The
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warningturns off
when the low tire pressure warning light
turns off.
● The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning
does not appear if the low tire pressure
warning light illuminates to indicate a TPMS
malfunction.
● Tire pressure rises and falls depending on
the heat caused by the vehicle’s operation
and the outside temperature. Low outside
temperature can lower the temperature of
the air inside the tire which can cause a
lower tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to illumi-
nate. If the warning light illuminates in low
ambient temperature, check the tire pres-
sure for all four tires.
● You can also check the pressure of all tires
(except thespare tire)on thedisplay screen.
The order of the tire pressure figures dis-
played on the screen does not correspond
with theactual order of thetire position. See
“Tire pressure information” in the “Display
screen, heater, air conditioner, audio and
phone systems”section.
● The Tire and Loading Information label (also
referred to as the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label) is located in the
driver’s door opening.

warning light” in the “Instruments and controls”
