Adjust the low tire pressure to the recommended COLD tire pressure shown on the Tire and Loading Information label located in the driver’s door opening.

SEAT bELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIME
 The light and chime remind you to fasten your seat belts. The light illuminates whenever the ignition key is turned to the ON or START position and remains illuminated until the driver’s seat belt is fastened. At the same time, the chime sounds for approximately 6 seconds unless the driver’s seat belt is securely fastened.
 The seat belt warning light may also illuminate if the front passenger’s seat belt is not fastened when the front passenger’s seat is occupied. For 7 seconds after the ignition switch is in the ON position, the system does not activate the warning light for the front passenger.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding seat belt usage.
