Tire pressures are posted on the tire label shown below. The tire label is located WARNING on the edge of the driver’s door.
Understanding Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) The Tire Pressure Monitoring System measures pressure in your four road tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. The Low Tire warning light will turn ON if the tire pressure is below the minimum pressure. Once the light is illu- minated, one or more of your tires is under-inflated and needs to be inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pres- sure.
