System Overview

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)





Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that turns on every time you start the engine and monitors the pressure in your tires while driving.

You will see the above display on the multi-information display when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position and press the > side of the INFO button three times.





To see the inflation pressures of all four tires, press the SEL/RESET button. The display changes as shown above.





Each tire has its own pressure sensor. If the air pressure of a tire becomes significantly low, the sensor in that tire immediately sends a signal that causes the low tire pressure indicator in the instrument panel to come on. If this happens, you will see which tire is losing the pressure in the multi-information display along with a "CHECK TIRE PRESSURE" message.





When the low tire pressure indicator is on, one or more of your tire is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,

If you think you can safely drive a short distance to a service station, proceed slowly, and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure shown on the driver's doorjamb.

If the tire is flat, or if the tire pressure is too low to continue driving, replace the tire with the compact spare tire.

Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare should be checked monthly when cold, and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified in the vehicle placard and owner's manual.

It is possible that the pressures shown in the multi-information display and the pressures you manually measure are slightly different.

If the difference is significant and you cannot make the low tire pressure indicator and message in the multi-information display go out after inflating the tires to the specified values, have your dealer check the system as soon as possible.

TPMS System Failure





If there is a problem with the TPMS, you will see the above message in the multi-information display.

If you see this message, the system is off and is not monitoring the tire pressures. Have the system checked by your
dealer as soon as possible.
