TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure

based on the cold inflation tire placard pressure require-

ments found on the tire placard label located on the

driver’s-side B-Pillar.

The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1

psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when

the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will

decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on

cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire

pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for more than

three hours - and in outside ambient temperature. Refer

to “Tires – General Information” in “Starting and
Operating” for information on how to properly inflate
the vehicle’s tires.

The tire pressure will also increase as

the vehicle is driven - this is normal and there should be

no adjustment for this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if

the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning

threshold for any reason, including low temperature

effects, or natural air pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire

pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn
