Premium System — If Equipped

The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve
stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the receiver
module.

NOTE:

It is particularly important for you to check the

tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.

The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver Module
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
• Three Trigger Modules (mounted in three of the four

wheel wells)

• Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System Messages,

which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)

• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings

The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will illumi-
nate in the instrument cluster and an audible chime will
be activated when one or more of the four active road tire
pressures are low. The audible chime will sound once
every ignition cycle for the first condition that it detects.
In addition, the EVIC will display a “LOW TIRE” text
message for a minimum of five seconds and a graphic of
the pressure value(s) with the low tire(s) flashing.
