Action when warned of low tire pressure
When the tire pressure monitoring system, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), detects low pressure in one or more of the vehicle's tires, the driver will be alerted that action is needed.
If the system's indicator symbol illuminates and the message Tire pressure low is displayed, check the tire pressure and inflate if necessary.
Switch off the ignition.
Check the inflation pressure on all four tires using a tire pressure gauge.
Inflate the tire to the correct pressure (see the tire pressure decal on the driver's side door pillar).
Through calibration of the system via the center display after the tire pressure has been adjusted.
Please be aware that the indicator symbol will not go out until the low tire pressure has been corrected and the system has been recalibrated.
Note
To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure, pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. The tires are considered to be cold when they have reached the same temperature as the ambient temperature (about 3 hours after the vehicle was last driven). After driving for a few kilometers, the tires will warm up and the pressure will increase.
Note
- After inflating a tire, always replace the valve cap to help prevent valve damage caused by gravel, dirt, etc.
- Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps could corrode and become difficult to remove.
Warning
- Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, which could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
- The system cannot predict sudden tire damage.
