Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

TPMS detects loss of tire pressure beyond specic limits. The system will turn on a warning light to
alert the driver of tire(s) with a low pressure condition, check/correct to extinguish warning light.If the
letters TPMS appear and remain illuminated, this indicates the Tire Pressure 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.
