INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING (Continued) If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light does not illuminate when the ignition key is turned to the "ON" position, have the system inspected by an authorized service facility. If the warning light flashes while driving, check to see whether the warning light goes off after a few minutes of driving. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indictor to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. WARNING When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not 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 alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. In this situation, please have the system inspected by an authorized service facility. If you replace one or more tires and the TPMS warning light goes off during driving, there is no problem. However, if the warning light does not go off, or if it flashes again when the vehicle is driven, have the vehicle inspected by an authorized service facility. WARNING If the tire pressure warning light does not come on when the ignition is turned to the "ON" position, or comes on and blinks for approximately one minute and then illuminate continuously, while driving there may be a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system. Have your vehicle inspected by an authorized dealer. WARNING If the tire pressure warning light comes on and stays on, reduce your speed and avoid abrupt steering and braking. Stop in a safe place as soon as possible and check your tires. • If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire. Refer to "Changing a Flat Tire" in section 5. • If one or more of your tires is under-inflated, adjust the inflation pressure in all of your tires to the recommended inflation pressure as soon as possible. Be aware that driving on a significantly under-inflated tire can cause the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure, and may affect steering control and brake effectiveness. This could lead to an accident, resulting in severe injury or death. 3-28
