Dodge 2008 Ram Pickup 1500 - Manual (Page 208)

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
TPMS “Light Load” Reset Switch – If Equipped
The TPMS ”Light Load” reset switch allows you to
choose between Light Load vehicle conditions and Max
Load vehicle conditions tire pressures and related TPMS
warning levels. The switch is located in the instrument
panel, below the climate control panel. For additional
information refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) — If Equipped” in section 5 of this manual.
26. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light
— If Equipped
This lamp indicates the ESP system is active
when it is flashing or that a part, or all, of the
features of the ESP system are not able to func-
tion when it is on solid. The yellow “ESP Indi-
cator Light” is located in the tachometer area. The ЉESP/
TCS Indicator Light
Љ starts to flash as soon as the tires lose
traction and the ESP system becomes active. The ЉESP/TCS
Indicator Light Љ also flashes when TCS is active. If the
ЉESP/TCS Indicator LightЉ begins to flash during accelera-
tion, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle
as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions. The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light”
becomes illuminated when the ESP-OFF button has been
pressed or ESP is only partially available.
