In this case bring the vehicle to a halt by carefully applying the brakes and avoiding abrupt steering maneuvers. disappears. Checking tire pressure electronically with the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), (USA only) i The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is equipped with a combination low tire pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale in the instrument cluster ( page 26). Depending on how the telltale illuminates, it indicates a low tire pressure condition or a malfunction in the TPMS system itself: If the telltale illuminates continuously, one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. There is no malfunction in the TPMS. The TPMS only functions on wheels that are equipped with the proper electronic sensors. It monitors the tire inflation pressure, as selected by the driver, in all four tires. A warning is issued to alert you to a decrease in pressure in one or more of the tires. 344
