Default Low Tire Pressure Message

I was wondering when I was going to see this. This morning I went out to start the car and had the message on the DIC. I reset it and it probably correctly told me that the left front was 24psi (the rest were 25 or 26). This doesn't surprise me since this is the coldest this car has gotten in its life (born April 21, 2004) - at least in my possession since the end of May.

I have always "winterized" tires by adding a few pounds for winter temperature changes, so I'll put that on the agenda for this week. I doubt that it will get that cold (low 50s) again before next week. Sooo... I learned that the tire pressure threshold is 25 psi. I suppose that I could have read the Owner's Manual and known this in advance but I hardly ever RTFM!

You should be at 30 cold no matter what the temperature is outside. Get those bad boys pumped up asap. : )

With the winter coming on, best to check the tires about once per week. Doesn't take long for the pressures to change. Keep them at 30 psi cold and you should be OK.
