		The tire pressure monitor has detected a loss of pressure in at 
		least one of the tires. | 
|  USA 
		only: | The tire pressure monitor is faulty.  Observe the additional

WARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked at least every 
two weeks when 
cold and inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the 
Tire and 
Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar or, if available, the 
tire pressure label 
on the inside of the fuel filler flap. If your vehicle has tires of a different 
size than the size indicated 
on the Tire and Loading Information placard or the tire pressure label, you 
should determine the 
proper tire pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure 
monitoring 
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of 
your tires are 
significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale 
illuminates, you should 
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper 
pressure. Driving 
on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead 
to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect 
the vehicle's handling 
and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper 
tire maintenance, 
and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if 
underinflation has 
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure 
telltale.
USA only:
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to 
indicate when the 
system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined 
with the low tire 
pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will 
flash for approximately 
1 minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will be 
repeated every time 
the vehicle is started as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction 
indicator is 
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as 
intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation 
of incompatible 
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS 
from functioning 
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more 
tires or wheels 
on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels 
allow the TPMS to 
continue to function properly.
