Operation

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) system uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure levels (EXCLUDING THE SPARE TIRE). Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the overhead console.

NOTE: The tire pressure monitoring system on your vehicle will warn you when one of your tires is significantly underinflated and when some combinations of your tires are significantly underinflated. However, there are other combinations of significantly underinflated tires for which your tire pressure monitoring system may not warn you. These other combinations are relatively common, accounting for approximately half the instances in which vehicles have significantly underinflated tires. For example, your system may not warn you when both tires on the same side or on the same axle of your vehicle are significantly underinflated. It is particularly important, therefore, for you to check the tire pressure in all of your tires regularly and maintain proper pressure.

1, 2, 3 OR 4 TIRE(S) LOW PRESSURE

Low tire pressure levels of 28 psi (1.9 bars, 193 kPa) or less detected in one or more tires.

Inspect all tires for proper inflation pressure, once proper tire pressure has been set the TPM system warning will reset automatically once the ignition switch has been turned ON.

1, 2, 3 OR 4 TIRE(S) HIGH PRESSURE

High tire pressure levels of 48 psi (3.3 bars, 330 kPa) or more detected in one or more tires.

Inspect all tires for proper inflation pressure, once proper tire pressure has been set the TPM system warning will reset automatically once the ignition switch has been turned ON.

SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM/SEE OWNER'S MANUAL

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPM) system requires service.

TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE

The TPM system function is temporarily unavailable due to external electromagnetic interference, such as portable electronic devices, or near by radio or TV towers.

Move the vehicle to an area free from radio, TV antennas and transmitting towers or disconnect any portable electronic devices, once the external interference is removed the TPM system will resume normal operation and the "TIRE PRESSURE NOW AVAILABLE" will appear in the overhead console display.

TIRE PRESSURE NOW AVAILABLE

The TPM system is functioning normally and the external interference is no longer affecting the system.

SPARE TIRE IN USE? YES/NO

The TPM system requires more information to determine the correct mode of operation, one or more of the vehicle active tires has been replaced by the spare, a wheel rim not equipped with a TPM sensor or the TPM system requires service.

If the spare tire or non TPM sensor equipped wheel rim is in active use (mounted on the vehicle), answer YES and the TPM system will resume normal operation.

If the spare tire or non TPM sensor equipped wheel rim is NOT in active use (mounted on vehicle), answer NO and the TPM system will resume normal operation.

ALL 5 TIRES WITH CAR? YES/NO

The TPM system requires more information to determine the correct mode of operation, one or more of the vehicle active tires has been replaced by the spare, a wheel rim not equipped with a TPM sensor or the TPM system requires service.

If the spare tire or non TPM sensor equipped wheel rim is in active use (mounted on the vehicle), answer YES and the TPM system will resume normal operation.

If the spare tire or non TPM sensor equipped wheel rim is NOT in active use (mounted on the vehicle), answer NO and the TPM system will resume normal operation.

CAUTION: The TPM system has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with TPM system as damage to the sensors may result.

NOTE:
- The TPM system can inform the driver of a low tire pressure condition of 28 psi [1.9 bars] (193 kPa) or less, or a high tire pressure condition of 48 psi [1.9 bars] (330 kPa) or more.

- The TPM system is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tire failure or condition.

- The TPM system should not be used as a tire pressure gauge wile adjusting your tire pressure.

- The TPM system must be retrained after a tire rotation or wheel rim mounted sensor replacement.

CAUTION: After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt entry into the valve stem, which could damage the wheel rim sensor.
