WARNING Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text messages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result in a collision and serious personal injury. x Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS. x Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. NOTICE Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in vehicle damage. If the ignition is switched on, an acoustic warning sounds when low tire pressure is detected. An acoustic warning also sounds if a system malfunction is detected. Driving for a longer period of time on rough roads or with a dynamic and sporty style can make the TPMS system temporarily unavailable. The indicator light will light up, signaling a malfunction, but will go out again once the road condition or driving style changes. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and recalibration through the Infotainment system ¤ Please first read and note the introductory information and heed the WARNINGS Your vehicle's Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) indirectly checks the tire pressure of all 4 tires while you are driving by using the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) sensors to monitor the tread circum- ference (rolling circumference) and vibration characteristics of the individual tires. The tread circumference of a tire can change: x If a tire's inflation pressure is too low. x If the tire's tread is damaged or the tire is structurally damaged. x If one side of the vehicle is more heavily loaded than the other. x If there is more weight on one axle than the other (such as when towing a trailer). x If a compact spare wheel has been mounted. x If a wheel was replaced on each axle. x If a tire was changed. x If the tire pressure was changed, or wheels were rotated or replaced, but the TPMS was not reset. x If there are snow chains on the tires. Using snow chains can cause the system to give false warn- ings because snow chains increase tire circumference. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System may not react at first or may not react at all when you are driving in a sporty manner, or on snow-covered or unpaved roads, when you are driving with snow chains, or in certain other situations. A change in the tread circumference of a tire is signaled by the Tire Pres- sure Monitoring System indicator in the instrument cluster (telltale). The tire pressure recommended for the tires originally installed on the vehicle is on a sticker on the driver door jamb ⇒ Tires and wheels. Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should 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. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac- ard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
