TIRE ALERTS & WARNINGS: SMARTIRE™ TPMS by Bendix CVS
It is important to always react to the alerts and warnings provided by the SmarTire TPMS (Tire
Pressure Monitoring System). When an alert is triggered, immediately bring the vehicle to a stop
in a safe location in order to assess the nature of the problem. It is recommended that tire
conditions always be corrected before the vehicle is driven. Once the pressure is restored or the
temperature is reduced, the alert is discontinued.

The axle designator and the highlighted wheel position indicate
the tire that is under- or over-inflated. The pressure deviation
value indicates the amount of under- or over-inflation. The default
setting triggers the alert at 10% under-inflation.

The axle designator and the highlighted wheel position indicates
the tire that is under or over inflated. The pressure deviation
value indicates the amount of under- or over-inflation.
IMPORTANT: This alert indicates that the tire is critically under-
inflated and should be addressed immediately. The default setting

The axle designator and the highlighted wheel position indicates
the tire that is critically hot. The temperature value indicates the
tire's running temperature.
The default setting triggers this alert at 195°F (90°C). High tire
temperatures are typically caused by under-inflation and the
system will usually provide a pressure alert in advance of a
temperature alert. If triggered on its own, it can be an indication
of an alternative problem, such as a
dragging brake or a bearing failure.
