The check tire pressure system can alert you to a large change in the pressure of one tire.


Object Number: 807305  Size: A1

After the system has been properly calibrated, the TIRE PRESS light will come on if a pressure difference (low pressure) is detected in one tire.

The light will stay on until you turn off the ignition or reset (calibrate) the system. See Check Tire Pressure System .

The TIRE PRESS light also comes on briefly when you turn your ignition key to START. If the light doesn't come on then, have it fixed so it will be there to tell you if the pressure in a tire is low.

If the anti-lock brake system warning light comes on, the check tire pressure system may not be working properly. See your dealer for service. Also, see Antilock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light .

On vehicles with the optional Driver Information Center (DIC), a CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message will appear when the system detects a pressure difference (low pressure) in one tire. See DIC Warnings and Messages for more information.
