Getting to Know Your H3
16
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle’s
tires by illuminating the (low tire
pressure) warning light on the
instrument panel. The low tire pressure
warning light will remain on until you
correct the tire pressure.
A CHECK TIRE PRESSURE message
may also appear on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must fill the tire to the
proper tire inflation pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct inflation pressure for the tires
when they’re cold. “Cold” means your
vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily clear the DIC
message by acknowledging it with your
DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive the vehicle. This
could be an early indicator that your tire
pressures are getting low and need to
be inflated to the proper pressure.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitor StabiliTrak
®
– Stability Control
System
StabiliTrak is an advanced computer-
controlled vehicle stability enhancement
system that assists with directional
control of the vehicle during sudden
maneuvers or low traction situations in
poor weather. It is normal to hear the
system working, and the system will
automatically disengage cruise control
when activated. StabiliTrak comes on
automatically when the vehicle is started
and does not require any driver input.
You should always leave StabiliTrak on
to assist with directional control of your
vehicle. However, if you need to turn off
StabiliTrak, press and hold the button
on the instrument panel for five seconds.
STAB SYS OFF will be displayed on the
DIC. StabiliTrak also is disabled when
the vehicle is shifted into Four-Wheel-
Low Lock.
See Section 4 of your Owner Manual.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can
alert you about low tire pressure, but
it doesn’t replace normal monthly
tire maintenance.
Towing a Trailer
If you have an automatic transmission,
you can tow in Drive (D). You may want
to shift the transmission to Third (3) or,
if necessary, a lower gear if the
transmission shifts too often under
heavy loads and/or hilly conditions. If
you have a manual transmission and
you are towing a trailer, it is better not to
use the highest gear.
