Chevy Impala: Check your Tire Pressure

Check your Tire Pressure

Impala 2006 – 2012 models

01 Turn the key to “On” to activate the dash display

02 To the right of the steering wheel there are four buttons to interact with the dash display (aka the driver information center). Choose the second button down with an “i” preceded by a car icon. Let’s call it the information button (see image).

03 Continue pressing the information button until you see the pressure of the tire you’re interested in.

04 The tire pressure is automatically updated by your car.

NOTE: On extremely cold days, your low tire pressure light may falsely activate. If the light turns off after a few miles of driving, you shouldn’t be terribly worried.
