The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim

mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-

stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the Receiver

Module.
NOTE:

It is particularly important for you to check the

tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle regularly

and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:

• Receiver Module.
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will illumi-

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. The system will automatically update and the Tire

Pressure Monitoring Light will extinguish and the LOW

TIRE message will turn off once the updated tire pres-

driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to
