Dodge 2008 Ram Pickup 1500 - Manual (Page 370)

WARNING!
It is the driver’s responsibility to change to the max
load inflation pressure (cold) low pressure warning
threshold condition when not driving in the light
load condition as defined as two occupants ( 150 lbs
each) plus 200 pounds of cargo. The vehicle “Light
Load Definition” is found in the Supplemental Tire
Pressure Information label located on the rear face of
the driver door. Failure to do so may cause you to lose
control resulting in an accident, causing serious or
fatal injury.
To switch back to the max load inflation pressure (cold)
low pressure warning threshold, press the “Light Load”
reset switch. It is not necessary to first fill the tires to the
max load inflation pressure (cold) values to switch the
TPMS system to the max load inflation pressure (cold)
low pressure warning threshold. If after pressing the
“Light Load” reset switch and tire pressures are below
the max load inflation pressure (cold) low pressure
warning thresholds, the TPMS low pressure warning
telltale lamp located in the Instrument Cluster will turn
ON and a chime will sound. The tire pressures are now
required to be inflated to the max load inflation pressure
(cold) values described on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion label. The Tire and Loading Information label is
located on the drivers side B-pillar. If the “Light Load”
reset switch LED turns OFF the TPMS has been reset and
the TPMS is using the max load inflation pressure (cold)
low pressure warning thresholds.
Tire Pressure Monitor System Components
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to the Receiver Module.
