TPMS MESSAGES

display along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s

four road tires are signiﬁcantly under-inﬂated when operating in

either TPMS mode.

 •Itisrecommendedthatyoucheckthetirepressureinthemorning

when the tires are cool; inﬂate each tire to the recommended pressure

for your vehicle. The light will turn off after your vehicle’s tire pressures

are properly inﬂated and the pressure has been recognized. The

vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph

(25 km/h) before light will turn off.

 •

Temperature changes can affect tire pressures, causing the TPMS light

to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven –

this is normal and you should not adjust for this increased pressure.

 •Drivingonunder-inatedtiresreducesyourvehicle’sfuelefciency

and tire tread life. If your spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the

TPMS light may turn on. Refer to your Owner’s Manual.
