The dome/reading lights illuminate when a door or the
liftgate is opened or when the interior lights are turned
on by rotating the dimmer control located on the multi-
function lever.
The reading lights are activated by pressing on the
recessed area of the corresponding lens.
NOTE:The dome/reading lights will remain on until
the switch is pressed a second time, so be sure they have
been turned off before leaving the vehicle.Electronic Vehicle Information Center
The electronic vehicle information center (EVIC), when
the appropriate conditions exist, displays the following
messages and symbols. Each message is accompanied by
a series of beeps:

Tire Pressure Monitor System Ð If Equipped
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system uses wireless
technology to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the over-
head console.The tire pressure is shown in the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC) display. The TPM system
remains active even if it is not displayed in the EVIC.
CAUTION!
The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire
pressure and will not function as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting the pressure in your tires.
There will be a delay between the instant you adjust
the air pressure in a tire and when the system
updates the display.
NOTE:The TPM system can inform you about a low or
high tire pressure condition, but it does not replace
normal tire maintenance.
The TPM system is not intended to provide you with
notification of rapid pressure loss.
92 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

1. If any tire pressure has exceeded the low or high
pressure (refer to STARTING AND OPERATING Ð
TIRES AND WHEELS), the TPM system will display a
message in the EVIC and sound a chime. It will then go
into the tire pressure display screen and flash the pres-
sure value of the tire that is low or high. This will be
displayed for the rest of the ignition cycle, or until either
the C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed.
NOTE:This display will return 60 seconds after either
the C/T, MENU, STEP, or RESET button is pressed. If a
tire is low or high, you should correct your tire inflation
pressure as soon as possible and inspect all of your tires.
Refer to STARTING AND OPERATING Ð TIRES AND
WHEELS for more details.
Once the low or high tire pressure message has occurred,
it will continue to blink until the tire pressure is cor-
rected.2. If the spare tire pressure has exceeded the low or high
pressure allowed, the TPM system will display a message
in the EVIC for 60 seconds and sound a chime per every
ignition cycle (5 Tire TPM System Only).
NOTE:This message will return every ignition cycle,
until the tire pressures are corrected.
3. When the vehicle is moving and the EVIC cannot
receive a valid sensor signal from the tire pressure
sensors, the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE message
will be displayed for 5 seconds along with a chime. The
display will then shift to the individual tire pressure
display screen and display dashes for the tire or tires that
are affected. Once the TIRE PRESSURE UNAVAILABLE
message has been displayed, and valid sensor signals are
received, the EVIC will display the TIRE PRESSURE
NOW AVAILABLE message for 5 seconds along with a
chime. This is meant to inform you when the TPM system
has returned to it's normal operation. This will occur
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 93

when valid tire pressure sensor messages have been
received from all 4 road tires. TPM system function is
temporarily unavailable due to external electromagnetic
interference, such as electronic devices or nearby radio or
TV towers.
4. In addition to monitoring the vehicle tires, the TPM
system monitors faults within the system. When any
fault has been set, the TPM system will display TIRE
SENSOR BAD/MISSING. Be sure to inspect your tires for
proper inflation pressure. After you determine that your
tires are properly inflated, see your authorized dealer for
service to diagnose the problem with the TPM system.5. With the 5 Tire TPM System, if a road tire is replaced
by the spare, the TPM system will automatically detect
that the tires have been switched (after the ignition has
been cycled) and display SPARE SWAP DETECTED
along with a chime. This could take up to 10 minutes
with vehicle speed above 25 mph (40 km/h).
6. With the 4 Tire TPM System, if a road tire is replaced
by the spare, the TPM system will display TIRE SENSOR
BAD/MISSING. This is due to the spare tire not being
equipped with a tire pressure sensor. Once the road tire is
repaired and/or installed back on the vehicle with the
proper tire pressure the message will be removed. This
could take up to 10 minutes with vehicle speed above 25
mph (40 km/h).
