NOTE:

AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE

FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the

driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not

reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when

the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the

low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute

and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent

vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replace-

ment or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning

properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS to continue to function properly.

NOTE:

Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature

change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the

Winter. Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F

(0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals

1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.

CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS

pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.

Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement

equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause

sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is

equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the

vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and

idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off

immediately.

We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the

vehicle serviced immediately.
