WARNING Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can cause sudden tire failure, loss of control, collision, serious personal injury or even death. x When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop and inspect the tires. x Incorrect tire pressure and/or underinflation can cause increased tire wear and can affct e the handling of the vehicle and stopping ability. x Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can also lead to sudden tire failure, including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss of vehicle control. x The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires on the vehicle. The recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker inside the driver door . 259. x The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled to the correct cold tire inflation pressure. x Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage. Alwysa inflate the tires to the correct specified cold tire pressure values for the tires installed on the vehicle. x Always maintain correct cold tire inflation pressure so that TPMS can do its job. x Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure before driving of f. x Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting them get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, and loss of control. x Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat build-up, sudden tire failure andlo ss of control. x If the tire pressure is too low or too highth, e tires will wear prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well. x If the tire is not “flat” and you do not have to change a wheel immediately, drive carefulyl and at reduced speed to the nearest service station to check the tire pressure and add air as required. x When replacing tires or wheel rims on vehicles equipped with TPMS always read and heed the information and all WARNINGS regarding, Tires and wheels. x The Tire Pressure Monitoring System must be recalibrated using the SET button wheneve r you remove and remount or change any wheel or tire on the vehicle, even if the reinstalled or replacement wheels and tires are identical to those that were removed and even if the tire pressure does not change WARNING Improper use of the SET button can cause the TPMS to give false warnings or to give no warning despite dangerously low tire pressure Underinflation increases fuel consumption and tire wear. Do not rely solely on the Tire Pressure Monitoring System. Check your tires regularly to make sure they are properly inflated and have no signs of damage, such as punctures, cuts, cracks, and blisters. Remove any objects that become embedded in the tire tread but have not penetrated into the body of tire itself. When you take delivery of the vehicle, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System is calibrated for the factory-recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the tires on your vehicle, as shown on the label inside the driver door
