KEY SWITCH TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Unplug cord before inserting the key into switch. The car must be in park before
you begin the starting sequence. When the key is turned clockwise to the first
“
ACC
”
position the accessory circuits will be on (radio, lights, etc.). Turn the
key past
“
ACC
”
to
“
ON
”
, press the brake, turn key to
“
START
”
(the red hazard
symbol on the dash turns off) after starting it will spring back to on. There is no
audible sound when the car is on. (If the key is in the
“
ON
”
position and a buzzer
sounds, there is an alert condition such as a door open or seatbelt not fastened.)
Each tire 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.)
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.
If the charging light is illuminated, unplug the charger before starting to drive.
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.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly.
CAUTION
Do not leave the key in the “ON” position when not in use. Doing so will discharge
the batteries.
WARNING
Never turn the key to the “OFF” position while the vehicle is in motion. This could lead
to loss of speed and loss of control of the vehicle. This can cause a serious accident.
