CAUTION

Ø Each tire, including the spare (if provided), shou ld be checked monthly when cold

and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufactu rer

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 und er-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire

pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as

possible, and infla te them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-

inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation

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 pr essure, even if underinflation

has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.

Ø Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to

indicate when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately

one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will

continue upon subsequent 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 pr essure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a

variety of reason s, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always

check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on

your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS to continue to function properly.

Ø To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a

problem. As a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tire deflation or

blow out.
