TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the

driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recom-

mended cold placard pressure.
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 de-

crease. Tire pressure should always be set based on cold

inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire pressure

after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three

hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a three hour

period. The cold tire inflation pressure must not exceed the

maximum inflation pressure molded into the tire sidewall.

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.
