The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) provides a low-pressure warning and does not re-inflate the tires. Tire pressures should be checked regularly, using an accurate pressure gauge when the tires are cold. Failure to do so could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
The TPMS cannot register damage to a tire. Regularly check the condition of the tires, especially if the vehicle is driven off-road. Failure to do so could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.
When inflating tires, care should be taken to avoid bending or damaging the TPMS valves. Always make sure that the inflation head is correctly aligned to the valve stem.
To avoid damage to the TPMS valves, it is recommended not to use rigid tire inflation wands. Using rigid inflation wands increases the risk of excess leverage and sideways pressure on the valve.
The tire pressure warning lamp illuminates when one or more of the tires is significantly under-inflated. Stop and check the tires as soon as possible. Inflate the tires to the recommended inflation pressures for the vehicle’s loading condition. See TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (AMBER) and TIRE PRESSURES.
The tire pressure warning lamp illuminates if a temporary-use spare wheel is used as a road wheel. See TEMPORARY USE SPARE WHEEL AND TIRE CHANGE.
The TPMS constantly monitors the tire pressure in each road wheel. The spare wheel tire 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.

A special service kit is required when changing a tire fitted with a TPMS valve.
Non-approved accessories may interfere with the TPMS. If this occurs, the instrument panel displays the message Tire pressure monitoring system fault.
Different types of tires may affect the performance of the TPMS. Always replace the tires in accordance with recommendations. Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation 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 is significantly under-inflated. 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 under-inflated 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 under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. 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 one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups 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 replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevents 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.
The recommended inflation pressures do not necessarily align with the vehicle’s pressure label due to the warming of the tires through driving and changes in ambient conditions.
Always inflate the tires to the recommended inflation pressures illustrated in the Tire Pressures menu. When inflating cold tires, the placard pressure label may be used. See TIRE PRESSURES.
If any of the wheels or tires have been removed, the displayed tire pressures may not be valid. Drive the vehicle for at least 15 minutes in order to re-calibrate the system.
The tire pressure units can be configured to display as either bar, psi, or kPa via the Display instrument panel menu.
Tire pressures may not be displayed after the following actions:
The tire pressures are displayed after the vehicle is driven at 16 mph (25 km/h) for 5 to 10 minutes.
When the vehicle is delivered, the tire pressures are set to those displayed on the tire pressure label. See TIRE PRESSURE LABEL.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can be adjusted for Normal load and Light (comfort) load. The TPMS can be adjusted via the Vehicle info, Tire information, and TPM load setting instrument panel menus. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.
The vehicle’s ignition must be switched on and the vehicle stationary.
When the vehicle’s ignition is switched on, the instrument panel displays a lamp to confirm that the light load setting is selected. No lamp is displayed if any other load setting is selected. See TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) LIGHT LOAD (WHITE). If the tire pressures are adjusted to the Light (comfort) load setting, adjust the TPMS to suit the vehicle’s load and associated recommended tire pressures.
Make sure that the tire pressures are correct for the vehicle’s current load. See TIRE PRESSURES. The instrument panel menus, Vehicle info, and Tire pressures can be used to check the vehicle’s current tire pressures.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) automatically recognizes any changes in wheel positions. The vehicle must be stationary for 15 minutes during the wheel and tire change, to make sure that the system can detect the change. After driving above 16 mph (25 km/h), any deflation warning should clear within approximately 5 minutes.
Re-inflate the tire, within close proximity of the vehicle, following repairs to a full-size spare wheel fitted with tire pressure monitoring. The TPMS warning lamp may illuminate if tire inflation is not carried out within close proximity of the vehicle. Should this occur, re-inflate the tire within 5 m of the vehicle. See TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (AMBER) and TIRE PRESSURES.
The full-size spare tire’s pressure should always be maintained at the highest recommended cold inflation tire pressure for that tire size. The recommended cold inflation tire pressures are displayed on the tire pressure label. The highest recommended pressure is usually for the rear tires at a heavy load. See TIRE PRESSURE LABEL. For information on the tire pressures, refer to the label located at the base of the driver’s door opening. See TIRE PRESSURE LABEL. Alternatively, visit www.ownerinfo.landrover.com.
If the temporary-use spare wheel is fitted, the system automatically recognizes the change in wheel positions. After approximately 10 minutes of driving above 16 mph (25 km/h), the instrument panel displays the Front(rear) Right(left) tire pressure not monitored message. The message is accompanied by the illumination of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning lamp. See TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) (AMBER). The TPMS warning lamp first flashes and then illuminates continuously. Extended use of the temporary-use spare wheel triggers the message Tire pressure monitoring system fault. The TPMS warning lamp display sequence activates at every ignition cycle until the temporary spare wheel is replaced by a full-size road wheel with a TPMS sensor fitted. The TPMS automatically re-calibrates when a full-size wheel is fitted to the vehicle, and the vehicle is driven above 16 mph (25 km/h) for approximately 5 minutes.
Contacting a retailer/authorized repairer is not required unless the TPMS lamp remains illuminated after the vehicle has been driven:
Illumination of the TPMS lamp is normal behavior for the vehicle when a temporary-use spare wheel is fitted and is not a cause for concern.
