STARTING AND OPERATING 291 system will automatically update and the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will extinguish once the updated tire pressures have been received. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information. A low spare tire will not cause the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" to illuminate or the chime to sound. The "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 60 seconds, and an audible chime will sound when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes, without an audible chime, until the fault condition no longer exists. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. NOTE: Your vehicle is either equipped with the standard compact spare tire or an optional non-matching full size spare tire. Both of these spare tires do not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, they will not be monitored by the Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). In the event that the non-matching full size or compact spare tire is swapped with a low pressure road tire, each ignition key cycle will still show the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" to be ON, and a chime to sound. After the original road tire has been properly repaired, and put back onto the vehicle in place of the non-matching full size or compact spare tire, the TPMS will update automatically, and the "Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light" will be OFF as long as none of the road tires are below the low pressure warning threshold. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information. Premium System - If Equipped The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the Receiver Module. 5
