Chevrolet Spark Owners Manual: Tire Pressure Light
For vehicles with the Tire Pressure
Monitor System (TPMS), this light comes on briefly when the engine is started. It
provides information about tire pressures and the TPMS.

This indicates that one or more of the tires are significantly underinflated.
Stop as soon as possible, and inflate the tires to the pressure value shown on the Tire and Loading Information label. See Tire Pressure on page 10-43.
