Tire Pressure
WARNING
Use of the Tire Pressure Monitor System is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger the low tire pressure alert. Failure to maintain proper tire pressure can result in loss of control of the vehicle, which may lead to serious personal injury or death.
The Garmin Tire Pressure Monitor System is available as a separate accessory. The tire pressure feature is not compatible with all zūmo models. Go to www.garmin.com/zumo for accessory and compatibility information.
Setting Up the Tire Pressure Sensors
Before you can set up the tire pressure sensors, you must have the battery and the numerical stickers included with each sensor. You also must have a compatible zūmo device.
The sensors communicate wirelessly with your compatible zūmo device. You can monitor tire pressure and receive low-pressure alerts on your zūmo device.
1 Remove the cap

by rotating the cap
2 If you have already installed the battery in the sensor, remove the battery.
3 On your zūmo device, select Apps > Tire Pressure.
4 Select a vehicle profile that matches the tire configuration of your vehicle.
5 Bring the sensor close to the zūmo device.
6 On your zūmo device, select the number next to the tire to which the sensor will be paired.
7 Within 30 seconds, on the sensor, insert the battery the battery holder

Â
into
The zūmo device searches for the sensor and displays a confirmation message when the sensor pairs successfully.
TIP: If the sensor does not pair successfully, you should remove the sensor battery, and repeat steps 6 and 7.
8 Enter the recommended pressure for the tire.
9 Enter the minimum pressure for the tire.
The zūmo device triggers a low-pressure alert when the sensor reports a tire pressure reading lower than this value.
10 Replace and fully tighten the cap on the sensor.
11 On the sensor, affix the numerical sticker that corresponds to the tire number you selected in step 6.
12 Repeat this procedure for each remaining sensor.
Installing the Sensors on Your Tires
WARNING
The Tire Pressure Monitor System is for use with metal tire valve stems only. Installation of the Tire Pressure Sensors on nonmetal tire valve stems may cause tire and/or tire valve stem damage which could result in serious personal injury or death.
NOTICE
To prevent possible damage to the sensors or vehicle, ensure each installed sensor does not interfere with the vehicle brakes, suspension components, or other installed equipment. If an installed sensor interferes with any installed equipment on the vehicle, do not operate the vehicle with the sensor installed.
12 Using the Apps
To prevent possible tire vibration or uneven tire wear on some vehicles, it may be necessary to balance the vehicle tires after installing the sensor.
Before you install the sensors on your tires, you should set up the sensors with your zūmo device.
1 Remove the existing valve stem caps from your vehicle tires.
2 On your zūmo device, select Apps > Tire Pressure to view the vehicle profile diagram.
3 Install the sensors onto the tire valve stems by tightening them clockwise.
NOTE: You must install each sensor onto the correct tire based on the vehicle profile diagram and the numerical stickers affixed to the sensors during the setup process.
4 Rotate the wheels by hand to verify the sensors have adequate clearance and do not interfere with vehicle equipment.
Tire Pressure Alerts
The device alerts you using pop-up messages, icons on the map, and symbols in the tire pressure app.
When an alert exists for a sensor, the number next to the corresponding tire appears red in the tire pressure app. The symbols below the number appear red to indicate the active alerts for that sensor.
Low tire pressure
Low sensor battery
Sensor not connected
Tire Pressure Sensor Sleep Mode
When you park your vehicle and turn off your zūmo device, the tire pressure sensor enters a power-saving sleep mode after several minutes. The sensor does not transmit information to the zūmo device while in sleep mode. This can cause your zūmo device to report the sensor is disconnected.
The next time your vehicle moves, the sensor exits sleep mode and automatically reconnects to the zūmo device. It may take up to 30 seconds to reconnect.
