If either telltale illuminates, immediate‐
ly reduce your speed, avoid hard cor‐
nering and anticipate increased stop‐
ping distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible. In‐
flate the tires to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s placard or tire
inflation pressure label located on the
driver’s side center pillar outer panel. If
you cannot reach a service station or if
the tire cannot hold the newly added
air, replace the low pressure tire with a
spare tire.
If you drive the vehicle for about
10 minutes at speeds above 25 km/h
after replacing the low pressure tire
with the spare tire, the below will hap‐
pen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator may
blink for approximately 1 minute and
then remain continuously illuminated
because the TPMS sensor is not
mounted on the spare wheel.
NOTICE
The spare tire is not equipped with a
tir
e pressure sensor.
CAUTION
• In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may illumi‐
nate if the tire pressure was ad‐
justed to the recommended tire in‐
flation pressure in warm weather.
It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the de‐
creased temperature leads to a
lowering of tire pressure.
• When you drive your vehicle from
a warm area to a cold area or from
a cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is higher or
lower, you should check the tire in‐
flation pressure and adjust the
tires to the recommended tire in‐
flation pressure.
• When filling tires with more air,
conditions to turn off the low tire
pressure telltale may not be met.
This is because a tire inflator has a
margin of error in performance.
The low tire pressure telltale will
be turned off if the tire pressure is
above the recommended tire infla‐
tion pressure.

• The tire pressure may vary de‐
pending
on various factors includ‐
ing the temperature conditions of
parking area, driving conditions
and ambient temperature, altitude
above sea level.
• The low tire pressure position tell‐
tale
warning may illuminate when
the tire pressure is same or higher
than nearby tires. This is normal
since the tire pressure changes
along with the Internal tempera‐
ture of each tire.
• The tire pressure displayed on the
instrument panel may be different
from the tire pressure measured
by a tire pressure gauge.
WARNING
n
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes
the vehicle unstable and can contrib‐
ute to loss of vehicle control and in‐
creased braking distances.
