Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) •  If one or more of the four road tire pressures are low, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light will illuminate and an audible chime will sound.  • Check the inflation pressure of each road tire on your vehicle and inflate to the recommended cold pressure value, shown on the placard located in the driver's door opening. The TPMS display should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.  • The light will turn off once the updated tire pressure has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off. • Temperature changes can affect tire pressures, causing the TPMS light  to turn on. Colder temperatures will decrease tire pressure and warmer temperatures will increase tire pressure.  • If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on. Refer to your Owner's Manual. Oil Change Indicator Message • If an "oil change" message (shown as CHAngE Oil) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
