What to do in an emergency Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire Pressure Indicator
䳜 You can check the tire pressure in
the assist mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "User settings mode"
on page 4-55.
䳜 Tire pressure is displayed 1~2
minutes later after driving.
䳜 If tire pressure is not displayed
when the vehicle is stopped,
"Drive to display" message dis
plays. After driving, check the tire
pressure.
䳜 You can change the tire pressure
unit in the user settings mode on
the cluster.
- psi, kPa, bar (Refer to "User
settings mode" on page 4-55).
Each tire, including the spare (if pro
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the infla
tion pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure
label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a differ
ent size than the size indicated on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should deter
mine the proper tire inflation pres
sure 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 pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi
cle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire mainte
nance, and it is the driver's respon
sibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illu
mination of the TPMS low tire pres
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS mal
function indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When
the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approxi
mately 1 minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subse
quent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the
TPMS malfunction indicator remains
illuminated after blinking for
approximately 1 minute, the system
may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.
