fully reinstall gas cap by turning
clockwise until a clicking sound is
heard, if gas cap is not fully installed,
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
tires are cold, use a digital tire
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 information.Anti-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
A self-diagnostic test is performed
when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear
some noise, this is normal.2. Lug wrench and

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.
