off until the tire pressure is at or above recommended

cold tire placard pressure. Once the low tire pressure

warning has been illuminated, the tire pressure must be

increased to the recommended cold tire placard pressure

in order for the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”

to be turned off.
NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may

need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (30 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in order

to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The system will automatically update and the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will extinguish once

the updated tire pressures have been received.
NOTE:

The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20

minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this infor-

mation.

For example, your vehicle may have a recommended

cold (parked for more than three hours) tire placard

pressure of 35 psi (241 kPa). If the ambient temperature is

68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressure is 30 psi (207

kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the

tire pressure to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa). This tire

pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn on the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle

may cause the tire pressure to rise to approximately 30

psi (207 kPa), but the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale

Light” will still be on. In this situation, the “Tire Pressure

Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn off only after the tires

have been inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold tire

placard pressure value.
