| Description of the problem | During yearly maintenance work, dealer stated on multi-point inspection that tires were inflated to 36 p. S. I. When i checked tire pressure with gauge, all 4 tires were at 20 p. S. I. There was no tpms light on the dash. The owners manual lists in bold letters, tpms. However, it is really indirect tpms. What is not mentioned in the owners manual, is that if all 4 tires are underinflated the same amount, the tpms light will never illuminate, ever. I think this fact should be mentioned in the owners manual. I think that most owners, myself included, think that if your tires are underinflated, the tpms light on the dash will illuminate. |
