5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.

NOTE:

Your vehicle is equipped with a compact spare

wheel and tire assembly.

1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire pressure

monitoring sensor. Therefore, the TPMS will not moni-
tor the tire pressure in the compact spare tire.

2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road

tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warn-
ing limit, upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will
sound and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
and LOW TIRE message will still turn ON due to the
low tire.

3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to 20 min-

utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and off for 75
seconds and then remain on solid.

4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will

sound and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid.

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 update automatically 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. 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.
