5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire and
reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare
tire, the TPMS will automatically update, and the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn off as long
as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning
limit in any of the four active road tires.

NOTE:

The vehicle may need to be driven for up to

20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) 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 to regularly check

and maintain proper tire pressure in all the tires.

The Premium TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:

• Receiver Module
• Four TPMS Sensors
• Various TPMS messages, which display in the Elec-

tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), and graph-
ics displaying tire pressures

• TPMS Telltale Warning Light

TPMS 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. In addition, the EVIC will display a
“LOW TIRE PRESSURE” message for a minimum of five
seconds and a graphic display of the pressure value(s)
with the low tire(s) flashing.
