Check Engine light may come on
For more information on Check
Engine light, see Owner’s Manual
Tire economy and tipsCheck tire pressure monthly when

pressure gauge for accurate tire
pressure measurement
Tires should be of the same
type and size
Maintain correct front-end alignment
and tire balance; rotate tires at
5,000 or 7,500 mile intervals; see
Owner’s Manual for rotation chart
Tire pressure Decal on Driver’s B-pillar provides
tire pressure informationAnti-lock Braking
System (ABS)
ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking
Tips: Maintain constant
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
ABS self test

Traction Control
System (TCS)
Enhances traction and safety
by regulating engine torque
When TCS detects drive wheel
slippage it lowers engine torque
to prevent loss of traction
Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC)
Controls braking and engine
torque in conjunction with ABS
and TCS to help control side slip
on slippery surfaces or during
sudden or evasive maneuvering
