STARTING AND OPERATING 243 SELF-SEALING TIRES-IF EQUIPPED A non-hardening viscous sealant applied to the inner liner of each tire fills punctures up to 0.19 in. (5 mm) to minimize the loss of air pressure. This contributes to the safety of the vehicle by significantly reducing the probability of a roadside stop due to a flat tire. TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM - IF EQUIPPED TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING - BASE SYSTEM The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) system uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure levels (EXCLUDING THE SPARE TIRE). Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the Receiver Module. NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain the proper pressure. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Lamp will illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an audible chime will be activated when one or more tire pressures is low. The Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Lamp will flash on and off for ten seconds when a system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is removed and reset. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System consists of the following components: • Receiver Module • 4/5 Wheel Sensors • Amber Colored Tire Pressure Monitoring Indicator Lamp The system will consist of tire pressure monitoring sensors attached to each wheel through the valve stem mounting hole, a central receiver module and an amber colored Indicator Lamp. A sensor is located in the spare wheel if the vehicle is equipped with a matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly. 5
