SAFETY 107
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster, an acoustic
signal will be activated, and the “Check left or
right front/rear tire” text message will display
when one or more of the four active road tire
pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle,
and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The
system will automatically update and the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light will extin-
guish once the updated tire pressures have
been received. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) to receive this information.
Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected, an
audible chime will be activated and the “Service
Tire Pressure Monitoring System” text message
will display. If the ignition is cycled, this
sequence will repeat providing the system fault
still exists. The Tire Pressure Monitoring
Warning Light will turn off when the fault condi-
tion no longer exists. A system fault can occur
with any of the following scenarios:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPM sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM
sensors.
NOTE:
Your vehicle may be equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
The compact spare tire does not have a Tire
Pressure Monitoring sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in the
compact spare tire.
If you install the compact spare tire in place of
a road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next igni-
tion cycle, a chime will sound and the Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Warning Light will still turn on
due to the low tire.
However, after driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Warning Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
This occurs for each subsequent ignition cycle,
a chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid.
