TPMS NOTE:

Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to 

drop and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire 

pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle and 

warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.
