So since Ron (my fellow Northerner) has not posted the sun gleaming through the palm tree salt in the wound picture, Ill let you all know its freezing up here in NY currently. Yesterday was low teens for us.

This is the first winter with the Jeep and yesterday I received an email. The email was from the Jeep stating that the tire pressure was low and should be checked, it also let me know that everything else seems to be fine at this time. I went out, fired up the compressor and filled up the tires which were at about 28psi a few lbs. below the 33psi F and 35psi R printed in the door jamb.

While I had the air hose out, I checked all the cars that were all low (imagine none of those emailed me). Well my 2002 QX4 doesn't even have Bluetooth so I guess she gets a pass, but the rest of them? I came in defrosted and though man, what's next? If only it could fill itself, and when the weather gets warm let off the excess pressure? I'm sure it will happen some day. Hope I am here to see it.

It's actually very cold here.

Mi Amigo -

I have that notification on my Grand Cherokee and lately its been telling me my Spare Tire has low pressure... Who knew ??? :)

Dont think you will have to worry about letting out any excess pressure later because tires out in the cold lose so many psi anyway.. There is a formula for that..

I have not checked mine very much lately either and its been really cold, and I just ignored the notifications..
So the other day it was actually sunny for a minute and I went out and they were all 10lbs low...
Glad I have an electric portable compressor to fix this quickly..
I run all 4 of them at 35psi and its fine..
The spare might be harder since its under the jeep and right side up so I have no access to the valve... Bummer...
