• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure,

and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in

the tire.

Base System

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless

technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to

monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each

wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure

readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:

It is particularly important for you to check the

tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly

and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver module,
• Four TPM sensors, and
• TPM Telltale Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings

The “TPM Telltale Light” will illuminate in the

instrument cluster, a “LOW TIRE” message will

be displayed and a chime will sound when tire pressure

is low in one or more of the four active road tires. Should

this occur, you should stop as soon as possible, check the

inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle, and inflate

each tire to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard

pressure value. Once the system receives the updated tire

pressures, the system will automatically update and the

“TPM Telltale Light” and “LOW TIRE” message will turn

off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20

minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS

to receive this information.
