Vehicles With Compact Spare

• The compact spare tire (if equipped) does not have a

TPMS. Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the

pressure in the compact spare tire.

• 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 switch cycle, the “Tire

Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will remain on, the

“LOW TIRE” message will be displayed, a chime will

sound, and the EVIC will still display a flashing

pressure value and the ЉInflate Tire to XXЉ message in

the graphic display.

• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes 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. In addition, the EVIC will

display a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message for a

minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (- -)

in place of the pressure value.

• For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will

sound, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”

will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on

solid, and the EVIC will display a “SERVICE TPM

SYSTEM” message for a minimum of five seconds and

then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.

• Once you repair or replace the original road tire, and

reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare,

the TPMS will update automatically. In addition, the

“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn off

and the graphic in the EVIC will display a new

pressure value instead of dashes (- -), as long no tire

pressure is below the low pressure warning limit in

any of the four active road tires.
