Possible causes/consequences and ► Solutions
Risk of accident
The tire pressure monitor has detected a loss of pressure in at
least one of the tires.
► Stop the vehicle without making any sudden
steering or braking
maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
► Observe the additional display messages in
the multifunction
display.
► Check the tire pressure. If necessary,
correct the tire pressure.
► If necessary, change a wheel.

WARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked every other week
when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar or, if available, the
tire inflation pressure
label on the inside of the fuel filler flap. If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard or, if
available, the 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 warning lamp when one or more
of your tires
are significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure warning
lamp illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated 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 pressure, even if
underinflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
warning lamp.
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 warning lamp. When the system detects a malfunction, the warning lamp
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 lit, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation
of incompatible
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction warning lamp 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.
