Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Important: Only use temporary resealing or reinflation products that are water soluble and state that they do not adversely affect the operation of the tire pressure sensor(s), if so equipped.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) constantly monitors the pressure and temperature of each tire on the vehicle, and provides tire status information to warn the driver about a tire-related problem before it becomes dangerous. Tire sensors mounted on each wheel measure tire pressure and temperature every 12 seconds and transmit data every 3 to 5 minutes. If a temperature change or tire pressure change of 3 psi (21 kPa) or greater is detected, the sensor breaks its regular schedule and transmits tire data immediately.
For further information on the TPMS, including operation, TPMS warnings, and proper tire removal/installation, see the Valor TPMS manual.
