TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)*

TPMS IconThe TPMS indicator functions as both the Low Tire Pressure Light and the TPMS Malfunction Indicator.

The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a spare tire installed without TPMS or tire pressure drops due to the outside temperature becoming significantly lower.

Inflate tire to specifications using an accurate tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure Light . See front driver’s door jamb for PSI specification.

The Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator is displayed on the LCD screen in the Instrument Cluster when the tire is underinflated.

When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate. See the dealer for service.

Quick Tips:

  • Although the vehicle is equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), tire pressure should be checked manually at least once per month. Tire pressure adjustments must be made when the tires are cold — meaning the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours and the tires are not heated by recent driving, direct sunlight, or other heat sources 
  • For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain the recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle
  • A significant drop in temperature can cause tire inflation pressures to drop, which may activate the TPMS light. Manually confirm tire pressures after significant changes in temperature or altitude

Reminders:

  • Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of the driver’s door jamb, visible when the door is open
  • Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
  • Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
  • Refer to section 6 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
