Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The tire pressure monitoring system displays tire pressure, temperature, and sensor status. Maintaining correct tire pressure increases fuel economy. Sustained high tire temperature can cause a tire to deteriorate, leading to tread separation and blowouts.
Tire Pressure has three submenu options: tire pressure, tire temperature, and sensor status. Selecting the tire icon image will display a vehicle image on the screen showing the tire pressure for each tire. Tire pressure can be displayed in psi or bar units. The unit of measure is displayed behind the rear left tire on the vehicle image. See Fig.. Units of measure are set under Settings.

Selecting the temperature icon will show an image of the vehicle on the screen showing the temperature of each tire. Tire temperature can be displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The unit of measure is displayed behind the rear left tire on the vehicle image. Units of measure are set under Settings.
Tires on the truck image will change color if tire temperature is too high. Red indicates a condition that may pose a threat to the vehicle. Amber indicates a condition that may result in damage.
Selecting the battery icon will show the battery strength of each tire sensor.
If a sensor's battery life is low, both the tire and the sensor icon on the truck image will change color to amber. If sensor battery status is critically low they will become red. See Fig..
