To help prevent incorrect inflation pressure,
pressure should be checked when the tires
are cold. The tires are considered to be
cold when they have reached the same
temperature as the ambient temperature
(about 3 hours after the vehicle was last
driven). After driving for a few kilometers,
the tires will warm up and the pressure will
increase.
When the inflation pressure monitoring sys-
tem11 detects low inflation pressure in a tire,
immediate action is required.
If the system's indicator symbol illu-
minates and the message Tire
pressure low is displayed, check
the tire pressure and inflate if neces-
sary.

1. Switch off the ignition.
2. Check the inflation pressure on all four
tires using a tire pressure gauge.
NOTE
After inflating a tire, always replace the
valve cap to help prevent valve damage
caused by gravel, dirt, etc.

3. Inflate the tire to the correct inflation pres-
sure; see the tire pressure placard on the
driver's side B pillar for recommended
pressures for factory-mounted tires.
Use plastic valve caps only. Metal caps
could corrode and become difficult to
remove.
4. After the inflation pressure has been
adjusted, always save the new inflation
pressure in the system via the center dis-
play.
WARNING
Incorrect inflation pressure could lead
to tire failure, which could cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Please be aware that the indicator symbol
will not go out until the low tire pressure
has been corrected and a storing proce-
dure has been started for the new inflation
pressure.
The system cannot predict sudden tire
damage.
