SAFETY 293
When Tire Fill Alert mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Operation:
The horn will chirp once to let the user know
when to stop filling the tire, when it reaches
recommended pressure.
The horn will chirp three times if the tire is over-
filled and will continue to chirp every five
s
e
conds if the user continues to inflate the tire.
The horn will chirp once again when enough air
is let out to reach proper inflation level.
The horn will also chirp three times if the tire is
then underinflated and will continue to chirp
every five seconds if the user continues to
deflate the tire.
SELECTABLE TIRE FILL ALERT (STFA)
The Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA) system is an
optional feature that is included as part of the
normal Tire Fill Alert system. The system is
designed to allow the customer to select a
pressure to inflate or deflate the vehicle's front and
rear axle tires to and to provide feedback to the
customer while inflating or deflating the vehicle's
tires.
In the Selectable Tire Fill Alert application, which is
located in the apps menu of the Uconnect system,
the customer will be able to select a pressure
setting for both the front and rear axle tire
pressures by scrolling through a pressure range
from XX to 15 psi in 1 psi increments for each axle
setting. XX = the vehicle’s cold placard pressure
values for the front and rear axles as shown on the
vehicle placard pressure label.
The customer may also store the pressure values
ch
osen for each axle in the radio as a preset
pressure. The customer will be allowed to store up
to two sets of preset values in the radio for the
front and rear axle pressure values.
Once the customer selects the tire pressures for
th
e front and rear axles that they want to inflate or
deflate to, they can begin inflating or deflating one
tire at a time.
NOTE:
The STFA system will only support inflating or
de
flating one tire at a time.
The customer may choose to disable or enable the
STFA feature through use of the TFA settings in the
radio. If STFA appears grayed out it must be turned
on prior to selecting.
The system will be activated when the TPMS
receiver module detects a change in tire pressure.
The ignition must be in the RUN mode, with the
transmission in PARK (P).
The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the
vehicle is in Tire Fill Alert mode.
If the hazard lamps do not come on while inflating
or
deflating the tire, the TPMS sensor may be in an
inoperative position, preventing the TPMS sensor
signal from being received. In this case, the vehicle
may need to be moved slightly forward or
backward.
When Tire Fill Alert mode is entered, the tire
pressure display screen will be displayed in the
instrument cluster.
Operation:
The horn will chirp once when the selected pres-
sure is reached to let the user know when to
st
op inflating or deflating the tire.
The horn will chirp three times if the tire is over-
inflated or over deflated and will continue to
ch
irp every five seconds if the user continues to
inflate or deflate the tire.
The horn will chirp once again when enough air
is added or removed to reach proper selected
pressure level.
Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS)
3500 Series Trucks
Your vehicle may be equipped with a TPIS.
The TPIS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
m
ou
nted electronic sensors to transmit tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each wheel
as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure
readings to the receiver module.
