Important safety notes

WARNING

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked at least once every two

weeks when cold and inflated to the pressure

recommended by the vehiclemanufacturer

on the Tire and Loading Information placard

on the driver'sdoor B-pillar or the tire pres-

sure label on the inside of the fuel filler flap.If

yourvehiclehas tires of adifferent size than

the size indicated on the Tire and Loading

Information placard or, if available, the tire

pressure label, you should determine the

propertire pressure for those tires.

As an added safety feature,yourvehiclehas

been equippedwith atire pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pres-

sure telltalewhen one or more of yourtires

are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltalelights up,

you should stop and check yourtires as soon

as possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure. Driving on asignificantly underin-

flated tire causesthe tire to overheatand can

leadtotire failure.

Underinflation alsoreduces fuel efficiency

and tire tread life,and may affect the vehicle's

handling and stopping ability.Please note that

the TPMS is not asubstitute for propertire

maintenance, and it is the driver'sresponsi-

bility to maintaincorrect tire pressure, even if

underinflation has not reachedthe level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pres-

sure telltale.

Yourvehiclehas alsobeen equippedwith a

TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when

the system is not operating properly. The

TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with

the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys-

tem detects amalfunction, the warning lamp

willflashfor approximatelyaminute and then

remaincontinuously illuminated. This

sequence willberepeated every time the vehi-

cle is started as long as the malfunction

exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-

minated, the system may not be abletodetect

or signallow tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for avariety of

reasons, including the installation of incom-

patible replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehiclethat prevent the TPMS

from functioning properly. Always check the

TPMS malfunction telltaleafter replacing one

or more tires or wheels on yourvehicleto

ensure that the replacement or alternate Tires

and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to

function properly.

It is the driver'sresponsibility to set the tire

pressure to that recommended for cold tires

which is suitable for the operating situation

(Y page253).Note that the correct tire pres-

sure for the current operating situation must

first be taught-in to the tire pressure monitor.

If there is asubstantial loss of pressure, the

warning thresholdfor the warning message is

aligned to the reference values taught-in.

Restart the tire pressure monitor after adjust-

ing the pressure of the cold tires

(Y page259).The current pressures are

saved as new reference values. As aresult, a
