Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the

engine to be switched off.

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck. This

is the only way to transport your vehicle.

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The

bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle

can damage the transmission.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Fill Assist

Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle's tire pressure becomes significantly low, the Low Tire Pressure/

TPMS indicator comes on and a message appears. on the driver information

interface. The specific tire with low pressure is displayed.

What to Do

Stop your vehicle in safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the

pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on

the driver's doorjamb.

Tire Fill Assist

While inflating: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash once every 5

seconds.
When the correct pressure is reached: The system beeps and the exterior

lights flash continuously for 5 seconds. Stop filling the tire.
If you overinflate: The system beeps and the exterior lights flash twice every

3 seconds.

Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An

overheated tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

U.S. models

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED

130 |

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly

when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the

vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the

proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire

pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure

telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop

and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper

pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and

can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,

and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if

under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS

low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with 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 system

detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute

and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
