Using the Driver Information Center (DIC), tire pressure levels can be viewed by the driver. For additional information and details about the DIC operation and displays see System Controls on page 3-48 and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-57. When a low tire pressure condition is detected, the TPM system will display the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message on the DIC and, at the same time, illuminate the low tire pressure warning symbol, on the instrument panel cluster. 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. When the low tire pressure telltale is illuminated, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. The Tire and Loading Information Label shows the size of your vehicle's original tires and their recommended cold inflation pressures. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 4-45, for the location of the tire and loading information label. Also see Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 5-60. Your vehicle's TPM system can alert you about a low tire pressure condition but it does not replace normal tire maintenance. See Tire Inspection and Rotation on page 5-65 and Tires on page 5-53. Notice: Do not use a tire sealant if your vehicle has Tire Pressure Monitors. The liquid sealant can damage the tire pressure monitor sensors. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. 5-63
