Operation

Tires and wheels

Warning!

G

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked monthly when cold and

inflated to the inflation pressure recom-

mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the

Tire and Loading Information placard on the

driver’s door B-pillar or, if available, the tire

inflation pressure label on the fuel filler flap.

If your vehicle has tires of a different size

than the size indicated on the Tire and

Loading Information placard or, if available,

the tire inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation pressure

for those tires.

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has

been equipped with an advanced tire pres-

sure monitoring system (Advanced TPMS)

that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale

when one or more of your tires is significant-

ly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low

tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as possi-

ble, and inflate then to the proper pressure.

Driving on a significantly underinflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to

tire failure.

Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency

and tire tread life, and may effect the vehi-

cle’s handling and stopping ability. Please

note that the Advanced TPMS is not a sub-

stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is

the driver’s responsibility to maintain cor-

rect tire pressure, even if underinflation has

not reached the level to trigger illumination

of the Advanced TPMS low tire pressure tell-

tale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with an

Advanced TPMS malfunction indicator to in-

dicate when the system is not operating

properly. The Advanced TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pres-

sure telltale. When the system detects a

malfunction, the telltale will flash for approx-

imately one minute and then remain contin-

uously illuminated. This sequence will

continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups

as long as the malfunction exists. When the

malfunction indicator is illuminated,

the system may not be able to detect or sig-

nal low tire pressure as intended.

Advanced TPMS malfunctions may occur for

a variety of reasons, including the installa-

tion of replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehicle that prevent the Ad-

vanced TPMS from functioning properly. Al-

ways check the Advanced TPMS

malfunction telltale after replacing one or

more tires or wheels on your vehicle to en-

sure that the replacement or alternate tires

and wheels allow the Advanced TPMS to

continue to function properly.

i

If a condition causing the Advanced TPMS to

malfunction develops, it may take up to

10 minutes for the system to signal a malfunc-

tion using the Advanced TPMS telltale flashing

and illumination sequence.

The telltale extinguishes after a few minutes driv-

ing if the malfunction has been corrected.

i

Operating radio transmission equipment

(e.g. wireless headsets, two-way radios) in or

near the vehicle could cause the Advanced TPMS

to malfunction.
