Low Tire Pressure Position and Tire Pressure Telltale
2C_TireLowPressureWarning
When the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System warning indicator ( ) is
illuminated and a warning message
appears on the cluster display, one or
more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. The Low Tire Pressure
Position Telltale will indicate which tire is
significantly under inflated by
illuminating the corresponding parking
light.
If either telltale illuminates, 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 pressure 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 the
spare tire.
The Low Tire Pressure position indicator
will remain on and the TPMS Malfunction
Indicator may blink for one minute and
then remain illuminated until you have
the low pressure tire repaired and
replaced on the vehicle.
In winter or cold weather, the Low Tire
Pressure Telltale may be illuminated if the
tire pressure was adjusted to the
recommended tire inflation pressure in
warm weather. It does not mean your
TPMS is malfunctioning because the
decreased temperature leads to a
proportional lowering of tire pressure.
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, check the tire
inflation pressure and adjust the tires to
the recommended tire inflation pressure.
Low pressure damage
Significantly low tire pressure makes the
vehicle unstable and may contribute to
loss of vehicle control and increased
braking distances.
Continued driving on low pressure tires
may cause the tires to overheat and fail.
