provided the online resource TPMSMadeSimple.com for complete insight into TPMS and the benefits of maintaining
proper tire pressure.
If the TPMS icon appears, your tires are sending you a very important message: one or more of your tires are
significantly underinflated and you or an auto service technician needs to take a closer look as soon as possible.
When this occurs, exercise caution and do the following:
* Find a safe place to pull off the road to check your tire pressure. Keep a tire gauge with your set of emergency items
in your vehicle.
* If the light comes on while driving at highway speed, immediately grab hold of the steering wheel with both hands in
case you are experiencing a blow-out (rapid deflation) scenario. Slowly decelerate to a safe speed and find a safe place
to pull off the road to check your tire pressure.
* Once checked, if the tires all appear normal, proceed carefully to the nearest gas station or tire service center to add
air to your tire(s).
* If needed, have the problem tire or tires and the TPMS system serviced at your nearest tire service center.
The TPMS icon should turn off within several minutes after inflating the tires to their recommended pressure.
