Tire Pressure Monitor Warning Message

If the tire pressure monitor detects a significant pressure loss on one or more tires, a warning message is shown in the multifunction display. A warning tone also sounds and the tire pressure warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.

NOTE: If the tire pressure increases again to at least 4.5 psi (0.1 bar) under the stored specified value, the warning message is suppressed.

If the tire pressure of at least one tire is continuously below the warning threshold for 12 min during a trip, a warning signal is set, stored in the memory of the tire pressure monitoring control unit and displayed in the instrument cluster at the end of the trip.

If the multifunction display shows a warning message, immediately check air pressure of all tires and adjust to the specified pressure. Drive vehicle for a 10 minutes to ensure malfunction has been corrected. If the warning message still appears, there is a malfunction in the TPM system. See appropriate manufacturer service information.

NOTE: If the wheel positions on the vehicle are interchanged, the tire pressures may be displayed for the wrong positions for a short time. This is rectified after 10 minutes of driving.

Under the following conditions, the warning message may be suppressed:
