Amber Warning Lights
Warning Light What It Means
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light — If Equipped
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the recommended
va
lue and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications corresponding to each tire
in
sequence.
NOTE:
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking
an
d steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
re
commended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper
tire inflation pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a
lo
w tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain
co
rrect tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
