Important safety notes
If a tire pressure monitor system is installed, the vehicle's wheels have sensors that monitor the tire pressures in all four tires. The tire pressure monitor warns you if the pressure drops in one or more of the tires. The tire pressure monitor only functions if the correct wheel electronics units are installed on all wheels.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow 
warning lamp in the instrument cluster for 
indicating pressure loss/malfunctions (USA) 
or pressure loss (Canada). Whether the 
warning lamp flashes or lights up indicates 
whether a tire pressure is too low or the tire 
pressure monitoring system is 
malfunctioning:
• if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the 
tire pressure on one or more tires is 
significantly too low. The tire pressure 
monitor is not malfunctioning.
• USA only: if the warning lamp flashes for 
60 seconds and then remains lit constantly, 
the tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
WARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), 
should be checked at least once a month 
when cold and inflated to the pressure 
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer 
on the Tire and Loading Information placard 
on the driver's door B-pillar or the tire 
pressure label on the inside of the fuel filler 
flap. If your vehicle has tires of a different size 
than the size indicated on the Tire and Loading 
Information placard or the tire pressure label, 
you should determine the proper tire pressure 
for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has 
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring 
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire 
pressure telltale when one or more of your 
tires are significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure 
telltale illuminates, you should stop and check 
your tires as soon as possible, and inflate 
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a 
significantly underinflated tire causes the tire 
to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency 
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's 
handling and stopping ability.
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 underinflation has not 
reached the level to trigger illumination of the 
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
USA only:
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 be repeated every time the 
vehicle is started 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 
incompatible replacement 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.

If the tire pressure monitor is 
malfunctioning, it may take more than 
10 minutes for the tire pressure warning 
lamp to inform you of the malfunction by 
flashing for 60 seconds and then remaining 
lit.
When the malfunction has been rectified, 
the tire pressure warning lamp goes out 
after driving for a few minutes.
Information on tire pressures is displayed in the multifunction display. After a few minutes of driving, the current tire pressure of each tire is shown in the multifunction display.
 The tire pressure values 
indicated by the 
on-board computer may differ from those 
measured at a gas station with a pressure 
gauge. The tire pressures shown by the onboard 
computer refer to those measured at 
sea level. At high altitudes, the tire pressure 
values indicated by a pressure gauge are 
higher than those shown by the on-board 
computer. In this case, do not reduce the 
tire pressures.
