• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’ s responsibil-
ity to maintain correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gauge, even if under -
inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPM Telltale Light.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the ac-
tual tire pressure in the tire.
Premium System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses
wireless technology with wheel rim mounted
electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of
the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings
to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the
tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle
monthly and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver module
• Four tire pressure monitoring sensors
• V arious tire pressure monitoring system mes-
sages, which display in the instrument cluster
• Tire pressure monitoring telltale light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will illuminate in the
instrument cluster and a chime
will sound when tire pressure is
low in one or more of the four
active road tires. In addition, the instrument
cluster will display an “Inflate to XX” message
and a graphic showing the pressure values of
each tire with the low tire pressure values shown
in a different color.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tires with a low pressure
condition (those shown in a different color in the
instrument cluster graphic) to the vehicle’s rec-
ommended cold placard pressure inflation
value as shown in the “Inflate to XX” message.
Once the system receives the updated tire pres-
sures, the system will automatically update, the
graphic display in the instrument cluster will
change color back to the original color , and the
TPM Telltale Light will turn off. The vehicle may
