Section 510 (Tires & Wheels): Sensor: Caution
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
The use of tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with the Tire Pressure Monitoring system. Tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION:
Tire pressure sensor valve stem caps and cores are specially designed for the sensors. Due to risk of corrosion, do not use a standard valve stem cap or core in a tire pressure sensor in place of the original equipment style sensor cap and core.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to install a tire pressure sensor in an aftermarket wheel. Use tire pressure sensors in original style factory wheels only.
CAUTION:
Any time a sensor is to be installed in a wheel, a new seal and washer must be installed on the stem to ensure air tight sealing.
NOTE:
TPM thresholds have been established for the original tire size equipped on the vehicle. Use original size tires only to maintain system accuracy.
