of the tire(s) that are under-inated. If the letters

Monitoring System is not functioning properly. Consult your dealer for service. For proper maintenance, safety, and

maximum fuel economy, you must always maintain recommended tire ination pressures and stay within the load limits

and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle.
