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 .
