Emergency situations
 If the low tire pressure indicator
turns on repeat step 3.
When resetting TPMS, the current
tire pressure is stored as a stan-
dard tire pressure.

CAUTION
• Withoutinflatingthetires,ifyou
resetTPMS,thesystemmaynot
informyouproperlyeventhough
the tires are significantly
under-inflated. You must check
the proper tire pressure before
resettingTPMS.
• The TPMS may not function
properly if you do not reset
TPMSalthoughtheTPMSneeds
tobereset.
• IfyoupushtheTPMSresetbut-
ton while driving, the TPMS
reset process is not activated.
Youmust pushthe TPMSreset
button while the vehicle is at a
completestop.
• Tirepressureshouldbechecked
and inflated while the tires are
cold.
 A cold tiremeans the vehicle has
beensittingfor3hoursanddriven
forlessthan1.6km(1mile)inthat

WARNING
Over-inflation or under-inflation
can reduce tire life, adversely
affectvehiclehandling,andleadto
suddentirefailurethatmaycause
lossofvehiclecontrolresultingin
anaccident.
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehi-
cle manufacturer on the vehicle plac-
ard 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 pres-
sure 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 low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires
is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pres-
sure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the prop-
er pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
