{CAUTION:
If you operate your vehicle with a tire that
is badly underinflated, the tire can
overheat. An overheated tire can lose air
suddenly or catch fire. You or others
could be injured. Be sure all tires
(including the spare) are properly inflated.
See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 567, for
information on proper tire inflation.
Tire Pressure Monitor System
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) uses
radio and sensor technology to check tire pressure
levels. If your vehicle has this feature, sensors
are mounted on each tire and wheel assembly,
except the spare tire. The TPMS sensors monitor
the air pressure in your vehicle’s tires and
transmit tire pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
The TPMS is designed to alert the driver, if a low
tire pressure condition exists. If your vehicle has the
Driver Information Center (DIC), the driver may also
check tire pressure levels using the DIC.
When a low tire pressure condition is detected,
the TPMS will illuminate the low tire pressure
warning symbol located on the instrument panel
cluster. If your vehicle has the DIC feature, a
message to check the pressure in a specific tire
will also appear on the DIC display. The low
tire pressure warning symbol on the instrument
panel cluster and the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
warning message on the DIC display will appear at
each ignition cycle until the tires are inflated to
the correct inflation pressure. For additional
information and details about the DIC operation
and displays see DIC Operation and Displays
(With DIC Buttons) on page 274 or DIC Operation
and Displays (Without DIC Buttons) on page 281
and DIC Warnings and Messages on page 285.
