According to the manual it doesn't - which is the opposite of what I've experienced. Trip down to lake of the ozarks, 85 MPH on a good hot day and my Pressure light came on. Pulled over and checked the tires which were all above 40 and very warm. Assumed it was because the TPMS was also measuring overpressure - maybe just another glitch, but it's the only time the light has ever come on for me.

I just looked this morning and surprising to me it said inflat per owners manual or door sticker. The only other pressuse that was on the the tire was for different load's (weight) at 65 psi.

Yup. And the door sticker is not valid any more since you changed the type of tire/load rating. The tire you put on is designed to run at a higher pressure - might want to keep an eye on tire wear if you are running them at 35. Chances are good that they will cup at that PSI.
