Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) is equipped with a combination low tire
pressure/TPMS malfunction telltale in the
instrument cluster ( page 34). Depending on
how the telltale illuminates, it indicates a low
tire pressure condition or a malfunction in the
TPMS system itself:
• If the telltale illuminates continuously,
one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. There is no malfunction in
the TPMS.
• If the telltale flashes for 60 seconds and
then stays illuminated, the TPMS system
itself is not operating properly
If a condition causing the TPMS to
malfunction develops, it may take up to
10 minutes for the system to signal a malfunc
tion using the TPMS telltale flashing and illu
mination sequence.
The telltale extinguishes after a few minutes
driving if the malfunction has been corrected
It is the driver’s responsibility to cali
brate the TPMS on the recommended cold
inflation pressure. Underinflated tires
affect the ability to steer or brake and
might cause you to lose control of the ve
hicle.
The TPMS must be restarted when you have
adjusted the tire inflation pressure to a new
level (e.g. because of different load or driving
conditions). The TPMS is then recalibrated to
the current tire inflation pressures.

Using the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver’s door B-pillar
make sure the tire inflation
pressure of all four tires is correct.

Restart the TPMS after adjusting the tire
inflation pressure to the inflation pressure
recommended for the vehicle operating con
dition. Tire pressure should only be adjusted
on cold tires. Observe the recommended tire
inflation pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information placard on the driver’s door
B-pillar

The combination low tire pressure/TPMS
malfunction telltale in the instrument
cluster ( page 34) flashes for approximately
5 seconds and then goes out.
After driving a few minutes the system
verifies that the current tire inflation
pressures are within the system’s specified
range. Afterwards the current tire inflation
pressures are accepted as reference
pressures and then monitored.
