Low Tire Pressure Warning Light (1) / TPMS SET Switch (2)

System Overview

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) detects a change in tire inflation pressure. If the tire pressure drops below the recommended pressure, the warning light will illuminate.

For the system to function properly, it is the driver's responsibility to set the system by following the exact procedure and to set the current tire pressures.

The warning light will illuminate when one or more of your tires is under-inflated after the TPMS has been set. The warning light will also illuminate to alert the driver of a system malfunction. Refer to the illustration above (1) for further information.
