−

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 placard or tire

inflation pressure 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 monitoring system (TPMS)

that illuminates a low tire pressure

telltale

when one or more of your

tires is

significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, when the low tire

pressure telltale illuminates, you

should stop and check your 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 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.
