Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings

The “Tire Pressure Monitoring 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. An ЉInflate to XXЉ message will also be displayed.

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, as shown in the ЉInflate to XXЉ

message. Once the system receives the updated tire pres-

sures, the system will automatically update and the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” and “LOW TIRE”

message will turn 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 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.
Service TPMS Warning
When a system fault is detected, the “Tire Pressure

Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75

seconds and then remain on solid. The system fault will

also sound a chime. If the ignition switch is cycled, this

sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still

exists. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will

turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. 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.
