Check Tire Pressure System (If Equipped)

The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large
change in the pressure of one tire. The system won’t
alert you before you drive that a tire is low or flat. 
You must begin driving before the system will 
work properly.

The LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO RESET
message will appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) and the LOW TIRE PRESSURE message will
come on the message center if pressure difference 
(low pressure) is detected in one tire. The check tire
pressure system may not alert you if:

D

more than one tire is low,

D

the vehicle is moving faster than 65 mph (105 km/h),

D

the system is not yet calibrated,

D

the tire treadwear is uneven,

D

the compact spare tire is installed,

D

tire chains are being used, or

D

the vehicle is being driven on a rough or frozen road.

If the anti

-

lock brake system warning light comes on,

the check tire pressure system may not be working
properly. See your dealer for service. Also, see
“Anti

-

Lock Brake System Warning Light” in the Index.

The check tire pressure system detects differences in 
tire rotation speeds that are caused by changes in tire
pressure. The system can alert you about a low 
tire 

--

 but it doesn’t replace normal tire maintenance.

See “Tires” in the Index.

When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE HOLD SET TO
RESET message appears on the Driver Information
Center and the LOW TIRE PRESSURE message comes
on the message center, you should stop as soon as you
can and check all your tires for damage. If a tire is flat,
see “If a Tire Goes Flat” in the Index. Also check the
tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can. See
“Inflation

-

Tire Pressure” in the Index.

Any time you adjust a tire’s pressure or have one or
more tires repaired or replaced, you’ll need to reset
(calibrate) the check tire pressure system. You’ll also
need to reset the system whenever you rotate the tires,
buy new tires and install or remove the compact spare.
