Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-

inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire

pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and

then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation

of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
