The TPMS sensors can also be
matched to each tire/wheel position
by increasing or decreasing the
tire's air pressure. If increasing the
tire's air pressure, do not exceed
the maximum inflation pressure
indicated on the tire's sidewall.

To decrease air-pressure out of a
tire you can use the pointed end of
the valve cap, a pencil-style air
pressure gauge, or a key.

You have two minutes to match
the first tire/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than two minutes, to match the first
tire and wheel, or more than
five minutes to match all four tire
and wheel positions the matching
process stops and you need to
start over.

The TPMS sensor matching process
is outlined below:

1. Set the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON/

RUN with the engine off.

3. Press

Q

and

K

on the Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
at the same time for
approximately five seconds. The
horn sounds twice to signal the
receiver is in relearn mode and
TIRE LEARNING ACTIVE
message displays on the DIC
screen.

4. Start with the driver side

front tire.

5. Remove the valve cap from the

valve cap stem. Activate the
TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire's air pressure
for five seconds, or until a horn
chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which may take up to
30 seconds to sound, confirms
that the sensor identification
code has been matched to this
tire and wheel position.

6. Proceed to the passenger side

front tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.

7. Proceed to the passenger side

rear tire, and repeat the
procedure in Step 5.

8. Proceed to the driver side rear

tire, and repeat the procedure in
Step 5. The horn sounds
two times to indicate the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the driver side rear
tire, and the TPMS sensor
matching process is no longer
active. The TIRE LEARNING
ACTIVE message on the DIC
display screen goes off.

9. Turn the ignition switch to

LOCK/OFF.

10. Set all four tires to the

recommended air pressure
level as indicated on the Tire
and Loading Information label.

11. Put the valve caps back on the

valve stems.
