If you have a flat tire, see “Flat tire” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
This vehicle is equipped with the Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS). It monitors tire
pressure of all tires. When the low tire pressure
warning light is lit and the Check tire Pressure
warning appears on the dot matrix liquid crystal
display, one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated.
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h).
Also, this system may not detect a sudden drop
in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while
driving).
For more details, see “Low tire pressure warning
light” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section, “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)”
in the “6. In case of emergency” section.
Tire inflation pressure
Check the pressure of the tires often and
always prior to long distance trips. The
recommended tire pressure specifications
are shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label under the “Cold Tire
Pressure” heading. The Tire and Loading
Information label is affixed to the driver side
center pillar. Tire pressures should be
checked regularly because:
. Most tires naturally lose air over time.
. Tires can lose air suddenly when driven
over potholes or other objects or if the
vehicle strikes a curb while parking.
The tire pressures should be checked
when the tires are cold. The tires are
considered COLD after the vehicle has
been parked for 3 or more hours, or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km) at moderate
speeds.
The TPMS with Easy Fill Tire Alert also provides
visual and audible signals outside the vehicle for
inflating the tires to the recommended COLD
tire pressure. (See “TPMS with Easy Fill Tire
Alert” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.)
