HIGH TIRE PRESSURE - (LF, LR, RF, RR)
(Except Z06): You will hear two chimes when this
message is displayed. To acknowledge the warning,
press RESET. After you press RESET, a message will
reappear every 10 minutes until this condition changes.
This message indicates that the pressure in one of your
tires is higher than 42 psi (290 kPa). Next to the
HIGH TIRE PRESSURE message, you can see either
LF (left front), LR (left rear), RF (right front) or
RR (right rear) to indicate to you which tire is higher
than 42 psi (290 kPa). You can receive more than one
tire pressure message at a time. To read other messages
that may have been sent at the same time, press RESET.
If a tire pressure message appears on the DIC, stop as
soon as you can. Have the tire pressures checked and set
to those shown on your Tire Loading Information Label.
See ªExtended Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Inflationº in
the Index.SERVICE TIRE MON SYS (Except Z06): If this
message comes on, a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor
(TPM) is not working properly. If you drive your
vehicle while any of the four sensors are missing or
inoperable, the warning will come on in approximately
10 minutes. If all four sensors are missing, the warning
will come on in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (All
the sensors would be missing, for example, if you put
different wheels on your vehicle without transferring the
sensors.) If the warning comes on and stays on, there
may be a problem with the TPM. See your dealer.

Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged. You will need a well
-charged battery to
restart the vehicle, and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.
Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost
all the way to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises
every half hour or so until help comes.
Recreational Vehicle Towing
Your vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four
wheels on the ground. If your vehicle must be towed,
see ªTowing Your Vehicleº in the Index.
NOTICE:
Towing your vehicle with all four wheels on the
ground will damage drivetrain components.
6-31 Brake Wear
Your vehicle has four-wheel disc brakes.
Disc brake pads have built
-in wear indicators that
make a high
-pitched warning sound when the brake
pads are worn and new pads are needed. The sound
may come and go or be heard all the time your vehicle
is moving (except when you are pushing on the brake
pedal firmly).
CAUTION:
The brake wear warning sound means that soon
your brakes won't work well. That could lead to
an accident. When you hear the brake wear
warning sound, have your vehicle serviced.
NOTICE:
Continuing to drive with worn-out brake pads
could result in costly brake repair.
Some driving conditions or climates may cause a brake
squeal when the brakes are first applied or lightly
applied. This does not mean something is wrong with
your brakes.
Brake linings should always be replaced as complete
axle sets.
See ªBrake System Inspectionº in Section 7 of this
manual under Part C ªPeriodic Maintenance Inspections.º
Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to
normal height, or if there is a rapid increase in pedal
travel. This could be a sign of brake trouble.
