TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn

the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle

recommended cold tire placard pressure.

The tire pressure will vary with temperature by about 1

psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when

the outside temperature decreases, the tire pressure will

decrease. Tire pressure should always be set based on

cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as the tire

pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for at least

three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a

three-hour period. Refer to “Tires – General Informa-

tion” in “Starting and Operating” for information on
how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.

The tire

pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is

normal and there should be no adjustment for this

increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if

the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning

threshold for any reason, including low temperature

effects, or natural pressure loss through the tire.
