OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions • Advanced Front Air Bags .
Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag: 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. W ARNING! • Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an air bag.
5. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers ar e pr ovided in ⬙ If Y ou Need Consumer Assistance. ⬙ W ARNING! • Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts r educe the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T wo people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly . Never use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you prop- erly .
W ARNING! (Continued) • A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together .
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt may not protect you properly .
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for normal usage: Only pull the belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap around the occupant’s mid-section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated, you will hear a ratcheting sound as the belt retracts.
W ARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt assembly Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or any other seat belt function is not working properly when checked according to the procedures in the Service Manual.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert®) BeltAlert® is a feature intended to remind the driver and front passenger (if equipped with front passenger BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat belts. The feature is active whenever the ignition is on.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized studio can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the steering column. NOTE: The Driver and Passenger Advanced Front Air Bags are certified to new Federal regulations for Ad- vanced Air Bags.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window . The SABIC are located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABIC is labeled SRS AIRBAG.
• Front and Side Impact Sensors • Front Seat Belt Pretensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch, and Seat T rack Position Sensors Advanced Front Air Bag Features The Advanced Front Air Bag system provide.
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) pr ovide enhanced pr otection to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The SAB are marked with an air bag label sewn into the outboard side of the front seats.
NOTE: Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during air bag deployment. The system includes side impact sensors that are cali- brated to deploy the Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB) and SABIC during impacts that requir e air bag occupant protection.
W ARNING! • Y our vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the SABIC. The area where the SABIC is located should remain free from any obstructions.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front Air Bags and the Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag work with the knee impact bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger .
The side air bags will not deploy in all side collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision. Because air bag sensors measur e vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed.
W ARNING! Ignoring the Air Bag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on as a bulb check when the .
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag Inflator Unit The Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag unit is located in the instrument panel trim beneath the steering column. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the Advanced Front Air Bags, it signals the inflator units.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain air bag. The inflating side curtain air bag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window .
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near the engine com- partment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.

If A Deployment Occurs The Advanced Fr ont Air Bags ar e designed to deflate immediately after deployment. NOTE: Front and/or side air bags will not deploy in all collisions.
W ARNING! Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front seat belt retractor assemblies replaced by an authorized studio immedi- ately . Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) system serviced as well.
Air Bag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the air bags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Air Bag W arning Light monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.

Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front. W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child can become a projectile inside the vehicle.
Summary Of Recommendations For Restraining Children In V ehicles Child Size, Height, W eight Or Age Recommended T ype Of Child Restraint Infants and T oddlers Children who are two years old or younger.
Infants And Child Restraints Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d- facing in the vehicle until they are two years old or until they reach either the height or weight limit of their rear facing child safety seat. T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and convertible child seats.
remain in a forward-facing child seat with a harness for as long as possible, up to the highest weight or height allowed by the child seat. All children whose weight or height is above the forward-facing limit for the child seat should use a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s seat belts fit properly .
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs ar e long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the seat belt in a rear seat.
Recommendations For Attaching Child Restraints Restraint T ype Combined W eight of the Child + Child Restraint Use any attachment method shown with an “X” Below LA TCH – Lower Anchors Only Seat Belt Only LA TCH – Lower Anchors + T op T ether Anchor Seat Belt + T op T ether Anchor Rear-Facing Child Restraint Up to 65 lbs (29.
Lower Anchors And T ethers For Children (LA TCH) Restraint System Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ethers for CHildren. The LA TCH system has thr ee vehicle anchor points for installing LA TCH- equipped child seats.
LA TCH Positions For Installing Child Restraints In This V ehicle • Lower Anchorage Symbol 2 anchorages per seating position • T op T ether Anchorage Symbol 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR .
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the LA TCH anchorage system to attach the child restraint? 65 lbs (29.5 kg) Use the LA TCH anchorage system until the combined weight of the child and the child restraint is 65 lbs (29.
Can two child restraints be attached using a common lower LA TCH anchorage? No Never “share” a LA TCH anchorage with two or more child restraints. If the center position does not have dedicated LA.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages The lower anchorages are round bars that are found at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback, below the anchorage sym- bols on the seatback. They ar e just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
Locating The LA TCH Anchorages In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. LA TCH-compatible child r estraint systems will be equipped with a rigid bar or a flexible strap on each side.
2. Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so that you can mor e easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages. 3. Place the child seat between the lower anchorages for that seating position.
How T o Stow An Unused ALR Seatbelt When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child r estraint, stow all ALR seat belts that are not being used by other occupants or being used to secure child restraints. An unused belt could injure a child if they play with it and accidentally lock the seatbelt retractor .
Installing Child Restraints Using The V ehicle Seat Belt The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with either a Switchable Automatic Locking Re- tractor (ALR) or a cinching latch plate or both.
What is the weight limit (child’s weight + weight of the child restraint) for using the T ether Anchor with the seat belt to attach a forward facing child restraint? W eight limit of the Child Restr.
Installing A Child Restraint W ith A Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) 1. Place the child seat in the center of the seating position. For some second row seats, you may need to recline the seat and/or raise the head restraint to get a better fit.
8. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap. See the section “Installing Child Restraints Using the T op T ether Anchorage” for directions to attach a tether anchor .
4. Finally , pull up on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child restraint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat. 5. If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
Installing Child Restraints Using The T op T ether Anchorage 1. Look behind the seating position where you plan to install the child restraint to find the tether anchorage. Y ou may need to move the seat forward to provide better access to the tether anchorage.
W ARNING! • An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchorage position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
CAUTION! Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result. NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty .
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
W ARNING! Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of serious per- sonal injury . • Always make sure that floor mats are properly attached to the floor mat fasteners.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tir es for excessive tread wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS 1. Glow Plug Light — If Equipped This vehicle will inhibit engine cranking when the ambient temperature is less than –22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an engine block heater has not been used.
3. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on. 4. Low Fuel Light When the fuel level reaches appr oximately 1.0 gal- lon (3.8L) this light will turn on, and remain on until fuel is added. 5.
9. Air Bag W arning Light This light will turn on for four seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN. If the light is either not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an authorized studio as soon as possible.
If jump starting is required, r efer to “Jump Starting Procedur es” in “What T o Do In Emergencies”. 13. Power Steering System W arning This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Power Steering System). Refer to “Power Steering” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a T ire Pressur e Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality , etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the ve- hicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is r equired. However , the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera- ture when driving in hot weather , up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer . It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range. CAUTION! Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle.
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was before the repair or service.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. • Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
T urn the ignition switch to the A VV (ST AR T) position and release it when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ST OP (OFF/LOCK) position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the “Normal Starting” procedur e.
3. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, place the ignition to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position, wait five seconds to allow the starter to cool, then repeat the Extended Park Starting procedur e. 4. If the engine fails to start after 8 attempts, allow the starter to cool for at least 10 minutes, then repeat the procedur e.
T urbocharger “Cool Down” This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to cool the turbocharger after the engine is shut off. Depending on the type of driving and the amount of cargo, the pump will run for up to 10 minutes after the engine has been shut of f to cir culate coolant thr ough the turbocharger .
NOTE: T o shift into REVERSE from NEUTRAL, lift the ring under the knob and, at the same time move the gearshift lever to the right and then backward. Use each gear in numerical order; do not skip a gear . Be sure the transmission is in first gear , not third, when starting from a standing position.
Recommended Shift Speeds T o use your manual transmission for optimal fuel economy , it should be upshifted as listed in the following table. Manual T ransmission Recommended Shift Speeds Units In mph (km/h) Engine Size Accel- era- tion Rate 1t o2 2t o3 3t o4 4t o5 1.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
W ARNING! (Continued) locked in P ARK, securing the vehicle against un- wanted movement. • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the igni- tion key and lock your vehicle. • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Six-Speed Automatic T ransmission The transmission gear position display (located in the instrument cluster) indicates the transmission gear range. Y ou must pr ess the brake pedal to move the shift lever out of P ARK (Refer to “Brake/T ransmission Shift Inter- lock System” in this section).
The transmission shift lever has P ARK, REVERSE, NEU- TRAL, DRIVE, and AutoStick® shift positions. Manual shifts can be made using the AutoStick® shift contr ol (refer to “AutoStick®” in this section for further informa- tion).
W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle move- ment and possible injury or damage. • Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P ARK.
W ARNING! (Continued) warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever . • Do not leave the ignition key/Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
NEUTRAL (N) Use this range when the vehicle is standing for pr olonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range. Apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into P ARK if you must leave the vehicle. NOTE: Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill.
If the transmission temperature exceeds normal operat- ing limits, the transmission contr oller will expand the range of torque converter clutch engagement. This is done to prevent transmission damage due to overheat- ing. During cold temperatures, transmission operation may be modified depending on engine coolant temperature.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we r ecom- mend that you visit your authorized studio at your earliest possible convenience. Y our authorized studio has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could recur . If the transmission cannot be reset, authorized studio service is required.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver should manually upshift (+) the transmission as the vehicle is accelerated. • W ith six-speed automatic transmission, you can start out (from a stop) in first, second, or thir d gear .
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a differ ence in the surface traction under the front (driving) wheels.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will require extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising Water W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-of f).
CAUTION! • Always check the depth of the standing water before driving through it. Never drive through standing water that is deeper than the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle. • Determine the condition of the road or the path that is under water and if there are any obstacles in the way before driving through the standing water .
POWER STEERING The electric power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will vary its assist to provide light efforts while parking and good feel while driving.
NOTE: • Even if the power steering assistance is no longer operational, it is still possible to steer the vehicle. Under these conditions there will be a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at low speeds and during parking maneuvers.
When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
CAUTION! If the Brake W arning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a brake system malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an authorized studio immediately .
Automatic T ransmission — If Equipped The Sport mode increases steering feedback to the driver with slight increase in effort and changes the transmis- sion shift schedules for more aggressive shifting. This driving mode is useful while driving on twisty r oads where more steering precision is desired in spirited cornering.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example; repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The effort required to brake the vehicle will be significantly more than that requir ed with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Pumping the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to a collision. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
T raction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: • V ehicle must be stopped. • V ehicle must be on a 2.5% (manual transmission) or 7% grade or greater (automatic transmission) hill. • Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) This system enhances dir ectional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESC cor- rects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteering or understeering condi- tion.
NOTE: The ESC Off switch is located left of the steering column (Manual T ransmission Only). W ARNING! The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions.
ESC Operating Modes The ESC system has two available operating modes. Full On This is the normal operating mode for ESC. Whenever the vehicle is started, the ESC system will be in On mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESC should only be turned to Partial Off for specific reasons as noted below .
W ARNING! • When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS functionality of ESC, (except for the limited slip feature de- scribed in the TCS section), has been disabled and the “ESC Off Indicator Light” will be illuminated.
NOTE: • The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light and the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESC system will be ON even if it was turned off previously .
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.

Tire T erminology And Definitions T erm Definition B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is the structural member of the body located behind the front door . Cold T ire Inflation Pressure Cold tire inflation pressur e is defined as the tire pressur e after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.
Tire Loading And Tire Pressure T ire And Loading Information Placard Location NOTE: The pr oper cold tire inflation pressur e is listed on the driver ’s side B-Pillar or the rear edge of the driver’s side door . T ire And Loading Information Placard This placard tells you important information about the: 1.
3. T ir e size designed for your vehicle. 4. Cold tir e inflation pressur es for the front, rear , and spare tires. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in .
264 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear pat- terns to develop across the tire tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressur e”.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds and within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressur e is very important.
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire repairs and additional information. Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tir es that have experienced a loss of pressure should be replaced imme- diately with another Run Flat tire of identical size and service description (Load Index and Speed Code).
If you need snow tires, select tir es equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tir es. Use snow tir es only in sets of four; failure to do so may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Spare Tires — If Equipped NOTE: For vehicles equipped with TIREFIT instead of a spare tire, please refer to “TIREFIT KIT” in “What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information.
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare tir e. Do not install more than one compact spare tire and wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same as your original equipment tire, replace (or repair) the original equipment tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity . W ARNING! Limited-use spares are for emergency use only . In- stallation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators ar e molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES) Use of traction devices r equire sufficient tir e-to-body clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard against damage: • T raction device must be of proper size for the tire, as recommended by the traction device manufacturer .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Observe the traction device manufacturer ’ s instruc- tions on the method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the suggested operating speed of the device manufac- turer ’ s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tir e pr essure based on the vehicle recom- mended cold tire pressure. The tire pr essure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12° F (6.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than three hours) tire pressur e of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68° F (20° C) and the measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a tempera- ture drop to 20° F (-7° C) will decrease the tire pr essure to approximately 23 psi (159 kPa).
CAUTION! (Continued) • After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the T ire Pressure Moni- toring Sensor .
Base System This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the instrument cluster . The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressur e lev- els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire pr essure r eadings to the Receiver Module.
Check TPMS W arnings The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when a system fault is detected, an audible chime will be activated and the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring Unavailable” text message will display .
4. This occurs for each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
