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

under-inﬂated 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.

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.

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 continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups 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 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.

A tire and Loading Information label, attached to

your vehicle, shows the size of your vehicle’s

original equipment tires and the correct inﬂation

pressure for your vehicle’s tires when they

are cold. See Loading Your Vehicle on page 307,

for an example of the tire information label and

its location on your vehicle. Also see Inﬂation - Tire

Pressure on page 392.
