Low Tire Pressure Warning Light

When the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates, the pressure in one or more tires is significantly below the specified value.

If the warning light illuminates, immediately reduce speed, avoid sharp turns, and anticipate increased braking distance. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible. Inflate the tires to the proper pressure specified on the vehicle certification label or the tire pressure label located on the driver side center pillar. If you cannot reach a service station or if the tire cannot hold the added air, replace the under-inflated tire with the spare tire.

The TPMS malfunction indicator and low tire pressure warning light may change and illuminate after restarting and after approximately 20 minutes of continuous driving until you repair or replace the low tire on the vehicle.

CAUTION

In winter or in cold weather, the low tire pressure warning light may come on even if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire pressure in warm weather. This does not mean that your TPMS is malfunctioning, because a drop in temperature causes a proportional drop in tire pressure.

When you drive the vehicle from a warm area to a cold area, or from a cold area to a warm area, or when the outside air temperature changes significantly, you should check the tire pressure and adjust the tires to the recommended tire pressure.

WARNING! Damage due to low pressure

Significantly low tire pressure makes the vehicle unstable and may contribute to loss of vehicle control and increased braking distance.

Continued driving on a low-pressure tire may cause the tire to overheat and fail.
