3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel

housings.

4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
NOTE:

• The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure

monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not moni-

tor the pressure in the compact spare tire.

• If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-

ing limit, a chime will sound and the “Tire Pressure

Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn on and a “LOW

TIRE” message will be displayed for a minimum of

five seconds upon the next ignition switch cycle. An
Љ

Inflate to XXЉ message will also be displayed.

• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above

15 mph (24 km/h), the “Tire Pressure Monitoring

Telltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and

then remain on solid.

• For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will

sound and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale

Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then

remain on solid.

• Once you repair or replace the original road tire and

reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare,

the TPMS will update automatically and the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn off, as

long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure

warning limit in any of the four active road tires. 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.
