drive the vehicle in a sportier manner or to downshift when driving on a downhill grade to
provide engine braking.

StabiliTrak®/Traction Control Systems
The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you when a significant reduction in pressure occurs in
one or more of your vehicle’s tires by illuminating theLow Tire Pressurewarning
light on the instrument cluster. The warning light will remain on until the tire pressure is
corrected. Current tire pressures can be displayed using the Driver Information
Center.The proper tire pressures for your vehicle are listed on the Tire and Loading
Information label, located below the driver’s door latch.
During cooler weather, the low tire pressure warning light may appear when the vehicle is
first started and then turn off as the vehicle is driven. This may be an early indicator that
tire pressures are getting low and the tires need to be inflated to the proper pressure.
Note: The Tire Pressure Monitor can alert you about low tire pressure, but it doesn’t replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressures.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner Manual.
