Tire Pressure Monitor

The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when a

significant reduction in pressure occurs in

one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illumi-

nating the  (low tire pressure) warning

light on the instrument panel. The low tire

pressure warning light will remain on until

you correct the tire pressure.

You may also have a CHECK TIRE PRES-

SURE message appear on the DIC. 

Correcting the Tire Pressure

When the low tire pressure warning light illu-

minates, you must fill the tire to the proper

tire inflation pressure. The Tire and Loading

Information label shows the correct inflation

pressure for the tires when they’re cold.

“Cold” means your vehicle has been sitting

for at least three hours or driven no more

than one mile.

You can temporarily remove the DIC mes-

sage by acknowledging it with your DIC con-

trols. However, at the next vehicle startup,

the DIC message will reappear if the tire

pressure has not been corrected.

You may notice during cooler conditions that

the low tire pressure warning light will appear

when the vehicle is first started and then turn

off as you start to drive the vehicle. This

could be an early indicator that your tire

pressures are getting low and need to be

inflated to the proper pressure.

See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Note:

The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert

you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t

replace normal monthly tire maintenance.
