Low Tire Pressure Warning Light and Chimes

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light and Chimes

This light and chimes warn you that the tire inflation pressure is low. This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position and goes off after a few seconds. This means the low tire pressure warning light is operating properly.

If the warning light does not go off, or comes on or blinks during driving, or the chimes sound, this indicates that tire inflation pressure is low. Make sure there is no flat tire. If the warning light comes on again even after air is put in the tires, a tire may still be flat.

If this warning light comes on. the action you must take is completely different depending on the type of tires used. You must understand how to distinguish tires between standard tires and run-flat tires in order to operate your vehicle safely.

If you drive over about 180 km/h (112 mph) with the tires not inflated at the designated pressure for high speed driving, the warning light may turn on. If the tires are at the designated pressure for ordinary speed driving, decreasing the speed will turn off the warning light.

This warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turnoff the warning light.
