STARTING AND OPERATING 157 Tire Pressure Monitor System The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) monitors the pressure in all tires. The TPM system uses wireless technology to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to a computer which monitors for low pressure. If low pressure is measured, the TPM Indicator Light will illuminate. The TPM system informs you of a low tire pressure condition. If this occurs, correct your tire inflation pressure as soon as possible, and inspect all of your tires. Be sure to use a high quality gauge when adjusting pressure. The TPM system is designed to periodically monitor your tire pressure but cannot be expected to function as a tire pressure gauge. There can be a delay between the instant you adjust the air pressure in a tire and when the system updates the display. The TPM system is not intended to provide you with notification of rapid air loss. The TPM system will cause the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster to illuminate whenever the pressure in one tire falls 25% below the recommended pressure shown on the tire label. NOTE: A TPM system does not replace normal tire maintenance. CAUTION! The TPM system has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealant or balance beads as damage to the sensors may result. The standard TIREFIT system (see Tirefit Tire Repair and Jacking Instructions in the What To Do In Emergencies section) is specifically designed to operate in conjunction with the TPM system, and will not damage the sensors. 5
