Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) System

The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system is used for continuous monitoring of tire pressure in all 4 road wheels while the vehicle is moving. It assists the driver in checking tire pressures, and provides warning messages on the instrument cluster display in case of loss of tire pressure.

The TPMS may fail to operate correctly due to the following conditions:

• If warning indicators are displayed at the end of a learning phase, it means that the system cannot recognize which wheels are mounted on the vehicle. This may be because one or more wheels were mounted lacking a wheel sensor.
• A wheel sensor or other component may have failed.
• The system recognizes more than 4 wheels are present on the vehicle (i.e., when additional winter tires are being transported on the vehicle and are transmitting data).
• A wheel was changed, and the new tire was not initialized.
• If vehicle is being operated with snow chains, system function can be affected by the shielding effect of the chains.
• System is not available due to a malfunction.
• Other transmitting devices with the same frequency (i.e., headphones with integrated radio) are emitting an electromagnetic field which can cause temporary interference in the system.
