Steps to take in an emergency517 CAUTION ■Maintenance of the tires Each tire, including the spare (if provided s),hould be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure moni- toring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) whene on or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you should stop and check yuor tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) mal- function indicator to indicate when thesyst em is not operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pres- sure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minte and uthen remain continuously illumi- nated. This sequence will continue upon bseqsu uent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,7 including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warninsyg stem) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing oneW or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate h tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to functionen t r properly. o u b l e ar i s e s GX460_OM_OM60L72U_(U)
