NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the
tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and to maintain
the proper pressure.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) consists of
the following components:
• Receiver Module
• 4 Wheel Sensors
• 2 Trigger Modules (mounted in the front wheel-wells)
• “Light Load” Reset Switch (located in the instrument
panel)
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more of
the four active road tire pressures are low. Should this
occur, you should stop as soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle and inflate
each tire to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value. The system will automatically update
and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Lamp will extinguish
once the updated tire pressures have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (25 km/h) to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Warning Light
located in the Instrument Cluster will flash on and off for
75 seconds and will remain on solid when a system fault
is detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. If
