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.

•YourvehiclehasalsobeenequippedwithaTPMSmalfunctionindicatortoindicatewhen

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 each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction

exists.

•Whenthemalfunctionindicatorisilluminated,thesystemmaynotbeabletodetector

signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of

reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the

vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-

function 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.
