TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates. These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggressive tread [...]

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ir e Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pressure. The tire pressur e will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the outside temperatur e decreases, the tire press[...]

For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tire pressur e is 27 psi (186 kPa), a temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tire pressur e to approximately 23 psi (158 kPa). This tire pressur e is[...]

NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance or to pr ovide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressur e gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflat[...]

TPMS will only monitor the pressur e in the full size spare when it is used in place of a r oad tire. Otherwise, a spare with a pressur e below the low-pressure limit will not cause the TPM T elltale Light to illuminate or the chime to sound. T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The TPM T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument [...]
