僅 You can check the tyre pressure in the
assist mode on the cluster.
- Refer to "User settings mode" on
page 5-73.

僅 If tyre pressure is not displayed when
the vehicle is stopped, "Drive to dis

check the tyre pressure.

Each tyre, including the spare (if pro
-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tyre inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tyres of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehi
-
cle placard or tyre inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper
tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that appears
a low tyre pressure telltale when one or
more of your tyres is significantly under-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tyre
pressure telltale appears, you should
stop and check your tyres as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to
overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi
-
ciency and tyre tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping abil
-
ity.
Please note that the TPMS is not a sub
-
stitute for proper tyre maintenance, and
it is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tyre pressure, even if under-
inflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operat
-
ing properly. The TPMS malfunction
