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.

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.
