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.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire

pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn

off until the tire pressure is at or above recommended

cold placard pressure. Once the “Tire Pressure Monitor-

ing Telltale Light” has been illuminated, the tire pressure

must be increased to the recommended cold placard

pressure in order for the “Tire Pressure Monitoring

Telltale Light” to be turned OFF

NOTE:

When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may

need to be increased up to an additional 4 psi (30 kPa)

above the recommended cold placard pressure in order

to turn the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
The system will automatically update and the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will extinguish once

the updated tire pressures have been received. The

vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above

15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this information.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended

cold (parked for more than three hours) air pressure of 35

psi (241 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C)

and the measured tire pressure is 30 psi (207 kPa), a

temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire

pressure to approximately 26 psi (179 kPa). This tire

pressure is sufficiently low enough to turn ON the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.” Driving the vehicle

may cause the tire pressure to rise to approximately 30
