WARNING
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS( tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS( tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure telltale( tire pressure warning light). 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 pressure as intended.
TPMS( tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS( tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS( tire pressure warning system) 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( tire pressure warning system) to continue to function
properly.
NOTICE
■ To ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly( if equipped)
Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pressure warning system may
not operate properly.
If a warning message is displayed
