What to do in an emergency
6
The low tire pressure position telltale
warning message will indicate which
tire is significantly under-inflated by
illuminating the corresponding posi-
tion light.
If either telltale or LCD warning mes-
sage displays immediately reduce
your speed, avoid hard cornering
and anticipate increased stopping
distances. You should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible.
Inflate the tires to the proper pres-
sure as indicated on the vehicle’s
placard or tire inflation pressure label
located on the driver’s side center
pillar outer panel.
If you cannot reach a service station
or if the tire cannot hold the newly
added air, replace the low pressure
tire with a spare tire.
After you replace the low pressure
tire with the spare tire, one of the fol-
lowing will happen:
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
may blink for approximately 1
minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tire
equipped with a sensor not in the
vehicle)
• The TPMS malfunction indicator
will remain continuously illuminat-
ed while driving because the
TPMS sensor is not mounted on
the spare wheel. (changed tire
equipped with a sensor in the vehi-
cle)
In winter or cold weather, the low
tire pressure telltale may be illu-
minated if the tire pressure was
adjusted to the recommended tire
inflation pressure in warm weath-
er. It does not mean your TPMS is
malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pres-
sure.
When you drive your vehicle from
a warm area to a cold area or from
a cold area to a warm area, or the
outside temperature is greatly
higher or lower, you should check
the tire inflation pressure and
adjust the tires to the recommend-
ed tire inflation pressure.
