196 SAFETY
(Continued)
NOTE:
When filling warm tires, the tire pressure may need to be
increased up to an additional 4 psi (28 kPa) above the recom-
mended cold placard pressure in order to turn the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light off.
NOTE:
• The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or
condition.
• Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire
to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure using an accurate tire pressure gauge, even if
underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.”
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressure, and
the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in the tire.
CAUTION!
• The TPMS has been optimized for the original equip-
ment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning
have been established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. The TPM
sensor is not designed for use on aftermarket wheels,
and may contribute to a poor overall system perfor-
mance. Customers are encouraged to use OEM wheels
to assure TPMS feature operation.
• Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become
inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to an autho-
rized dealer to have your sensor function checked.
• After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always
reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
