Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Park the vehicle and select Home on the touchscreen.
- 02
Select Settings.
- 03
Open General.
- 04
Find and select Tire Pressure Units.
- 05
Choose PSI or kPa, then select X to exit.
- 06
Use the combination-meter information switch and arrows to open the TPMS screen and verify the selected unit.
Important limits
- Changing units does not change the recommended inflation pressure. Use the cold-tire value on the driver's door-pillar tire label.
- TPMS readings may not update until the vehicle is driven; use an accurate tire gauge when setting pressure.
- Do not use the temporary spare tire as a replacement for a front wheel; follow the Owner's Manual procedure.
Quick checks.
- ✓If individual pressures are blank immediately after startup or adjustment, drive the vehicle and recheck after the system updates.
- ✓If Tire Pressure Units is missing, confirm you are in General settings and consult the menu path for the installed STARLINK version.
- ✓A persistent TPMS warning after pressures are set correctly requires diagnosis; changing units will not clear a system fault.
