TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn

the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle

recommended cold tire inflation placard pressure. The

placard pressure is defined on the Tire and Loading

Information label. The Tire and Loading Information

label is located on the drivers side B-pillar.

The tire pressure will vary with temperature by approxi-

mately 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means

that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire

pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be set

based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as

the tire pressure after a vehicle has not been driven for

more than three hours, or driven less than one mile after

a three hour period. Refer to “Tires – General Informa-

tion” in “Starting and Operating” for information on how

to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires. The tire pressure

will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal

and there should be no adjustment for this increased

pressure.

The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if

the tire pressure falls below the low pressure warning

threshold for any reason, including low temperature

effects, or natural pressure loss through the tire.

The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire

pressure as long as the condition exists and will not turn

off until the tire pressure is at or above recommended

cold placard pressure. Once the low tire pressure warn-

ing has been illuminated, the tire pressure must be

increased to the recommended cold placard pressure in

order for the TPMS warning lamp to be turned off. The

system will automatically update and the TPMS warning

lamp will extinguish once the updated tire pressures
