Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Indicators
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster, an audible chime will be activated, and the "Check left or right front/rear tire" text message will display when one or more of the four active road tire pressures are low.
Two intervention thresholds are identified that are stored inside the TPMS receiver. The first (defined as CHECK) indicates that one or more tires are at a pressure slightly lower than optimum pressure and the user should therefore check and restore the correct value. The second threshold (defined as WARNING) is set to indicate a constant or sudden pressure loss due to a puncture in one or more tires.|
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn off until the tire pressure is at or above the recommended cold tire pressure on the placard. Once the low tire pressure warning (Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light) illuminates, you must increase the tire pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure in order for the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light to turn off. The system will automatically update and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off once the system receives the updated tire pressures. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
