The tyre pressure warning lamp illuminates when one or more of the tyres are significantly under-inflated. A message is also displayed. Stop and check the tyres as soon as possible. Inflate the tyres to the recommended inflation pressures for the vehicle’s loading condition. See TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (YELLOW) and TYRE PRESSURES.
The TPMS constantly monitors the tyre pressure in each road wheel. The spare wheel tyre pressure is not monitored.
To confirm if TPMS is fitted to the vehicle: Switch on the vehicle’s ignition and check for the presence of a TPMS lamp in the instrument panel. Vehicles with a TPMS lamp have TPMS.

The TPMS warning lamp illuminates for 3 seconds and then extinguishes. | Tyre pressures are all correct. | No action required. |
The TPMS warning lamp illuminates permanently when the ignition is switched on. A low tyre pressure warning message is displayed in the instrument panel. | One or more tyre pressures are low. | Check and adjust the tyre pressures of the tyres shown in the instrument panel. |
The TPMS warning lamp flashes for 75 seconds when the ignition is switched on, and then illuminates permanently. A warning message is displayed in the instrument panel to advise that a tyre is not being monitored. A yellow cross appears on the tyre in the warning message and in the Tyre Pressures Menu. | The vehicle has lost communication with one of the tyres. | Check and adjust all tyre pressures, if required, before driving the vehicle.

The vehicle’s current tyre pressures can be displayed via the Tyre Pressures menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
When the Tyre Pressures menu is selected, the instrument panel displays two tyre pressure values for each tyre. One value shows the actual tyre pressure. The other, displayed in brackets, is the advised inflation pressure.
The actual and advised inflation pressures change, based on ambient conditions and as the air temperature within the tyres fluctuates during use.
Tyre pressures may not be displayed after the following actions:
The tyre pressures are displayed after the vehicle is driven at 25 km/h (16 mph) for 5 to 10 minutes.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can be adjusted for Light load and Heavy load conditions. Adjust the TPMS load settings via the TPMS load setting instrument panel menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
TPMS light load lamp.
Adjust the TPMS to suit the vehicle’s load.
Vehicle | Light load | Heavy load |
---|---|---|
Commercial vehicles | up to 2 occupants and 2 pieces of luggage | more than 2 occupants and 2 pieces of luggage |
Up to 5 seats – except commercial vehicles | up to 3 occupants | 4 occupants and above |
6 seats and above | up to 4 occupants | 5 occupants and above |
The TPMS load setting and tyre pressures must correspond with the vehicle’s current load. See TYRE PRESSURES.
The vehicle’s current load setting can be displayed via the TPMS load setting menu. The vehicle’s current and advised tyre pressures can be displayed via the Tyre pressures menu. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU OPERATION.
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) automatically recognises:
The vehicle must be stationary for 15 minutes during the wheel, sensor, and tyre change, to make sure that the system can detect the change. After driving above 25 km/h (16 mph), any TPMS warning messages or lamps should update and/or clear within approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
