Tire Monitor – messages
When low tire pressure has been detected, a message will be displayed and the tire pressure warning telltale in the instrument panel 
will illuminate.
will illuminate.Erasing warning messages
To erase a low tire pressure message and turn off the telltale:
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of the under-inflated tire(s).
Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pressure (consult the tire pressure placard located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening) or the inflation pressure table, see Tire inflation – pressure table.
Recalibrate Tire Monitor, see Calibrating Tire Monitor.
Note
- Tire monitoring systems use a temperature compensated pressure value. This pressure value is dependent on tire temperature and ambient temperature, which can differ from the recommended cold tire pressure in the tire inflation table and on the tire pressure placard located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at the side of the vehicle, at the rear of the driver's door opening). This means that it may sometimes be necessary to inflate them slightly above the recommended cold pressure value (approx. 3-4 psi or 0.2-0.3 bar) in order to reset a low tire pressure warning.
- To help avoid incorrect tire inflation pressure, if possible only inflate the tires when they are cold. The tires are considered to be cold when they have the same temperature as the surrounding (ambient) air. This temperature is normally reached after the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours. After driving a distance of approximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tires are considered to be hot.
Important
- After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage to the valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
- Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps could corrode and become difficult to remove.
Warning
- Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of control of the vehicle.
- Tire monitoring systems cannot indicate sudden tire damage caused by external factors (e.g., a blowout) in advance.
