Tire Pressure
The Tire and Loading Information label
tells you the proper size, speed rating
and recommended tire inflation pressure
for the tires on your vehicle. This label is
located on the driver-side doorjamb.
Overinflated tires produce a harsh ride,
while underinflated tires reduce fuel
economy and affect vehicle handling.
Both underinflated and overinflated tires
promote tire wear.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Jump Starting Your Vehicle
The battery is located in the spare tire
well, under the load floor in the trunk.
Should it be necessary to jump start
your vehicle, either the battery or the
remote positive terminal in the engine
compartment can be used. This unique
feature allows you to jump start the
vehicle from either the front or the rear
of the vehicle. The negative cable can
be connected to a heavy, unpainted
metal part of the vehicle or to a negative
terminal on the battery. See your Owner
Manual for instructions on how to prop-
erly and safely jump start your ION.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Removing and Securing the
Fuel Cap
To remove the fuel cap, turn the cap
counterclockwise about 1/4 of a turn.
To reinstall the fuel cap after filling your
tank, turn the fuel cap to the right (clock-
wise) until you hear at least three clicks.
The vehicle diagnostic system can
determine whether the cap has been left
off or improperly installed. This would
allow fuel to evaporate into the atmos-
phere and may cause the malfunction
indicator lamp to illuminate.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Transmitter (if equipped):

button (
