SYSTEM

Љ message will no longer display, and a pressure

value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:

1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to
facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting
that affects radio wave signals.

3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.

5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.

Vehicles With Full-Size Spare

1. The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly
has a tire pressure monitoring sensor that can be moni-
tored by the TPMS.

2. If you install the full size spare in place of a road tire
that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit,
a chime will sound and the “TPMS Telltale Light” will
turn on upon the next ignition key cycle. In addition, the
EVIC will display a Low Pressure message and a graphic
showing the low tire pressure value flashing.

3. After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) the “TPMS Telltale Light” will turn
OFF, as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road tires.

4. The EVIC will display a graphic showing the tire
pressure value in place of the flashing low tire pressure
