The SmarTire™ System and Tire Maintenance 
This system is a sensing device designed to identify and display tire operating data and activate 
an alert or warning when pressure or temperature irregularities are detected. It is the 
responsibility of the driver to react promptly and with discretion to alerts and warnings. 
Abnormal tire inflation pressures should be corrected at the earliest opportunity.   
 
System Installation and Usage 
Use of the SmarTire™ system requires that it has been properly installed and programmed by 
qualified personnel according to SmarTire Systems Inc. documentation.  
This includes the Owner’s Manual and any supplementary installation instructions included with 
system components.  
THIS SYSTEM IS SUITABLE FOR USE IN PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES UP 
TO MAXIMUM COLD INFLATION PRESSURE  OF 85 PSI.. 
 
Use of Chemicals 
Temporary resealing or reinflation products containing internal sealers or propellants in any 
tire/wheel assembly may adversely affect the operation of Sensor Modules. Use of these 
chemicals can damage the pressure sensor and may nullify any manufacturer’s warranty, 
expressed or implied. 
 
Power Connection 
If your Display Module is connected to an unkeyed cigarette lighter socket unplug it when you 
park the vehicle for extended periods of time (more than three days) to avoid draining the 
battery. On a keyed circuit you will see the key lights turn off and the information screen clear 
when the ignition switch is turned off. 
 
Warnings   
 

1.  When an alert or warning conditions is detected, reduce vehicle speed to an appropriate 

safe level and proceed to a safe stopping location or facility where the tire can be 
inspected and serviced.  

 

2.  The pressure deviation alert indicates that the pressure has dropped a set amount below 

the required pressure.  

 

3.  The low pressure alert occurring shortly after a pressure status alert indicates that a rapid 

pressure loss is taking place. 

 

4.  The low pressure warning indicates that the pressure has dropped to a level considered 

critical to the tire’s ability to support and/or provide directional control to the vehicle.
