Tire Pressure Light (If Equipped)
The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large
change in the pressure of one tire.
After the system has been
properly calibrated, the
TIRE PRESS light will
come on if a pressure
difference (low pressure) is
detected in one tire.
The light will stay on until you turn off the ignition or
reset (calibrate) the system. See “Check Tire Pressure
System” in the Index.
The TIRE PRESS light also comes on briefly when you
turn your ignition key to START. If the light doesn’t
come on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you
if the pressure in a tire is low.
If the anti
-lock brake system warning light comes on,
the check tire pressure system may not be working
properly. See your dealer for service. Also, see
“Anti
-Lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.
On vehicles with the optional Driver Information Center
(DIC), a CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message replaces
the TIRE PRESS light when the system detects a
pressure difference (low pressure) in one tire. See “DIC
Warnings and Messages” in the Index for
more information.
