CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangero us. You or others could be badly burned by

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend
you do not operate the vehicle. Hav e the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical ch arging system. If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start
anytime the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. You can be hurt by the fan.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow the
clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in your eyes or on skin, flush the
contaminated area immediately w ith large quantities of water.
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep flames or sparks away from the battery vent holes. Don’t lean over the battery when
attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster cables may be used to obtain a start from another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly, so
follow this procedure carefully.
• Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12-volts (i.e., do not use a 24-volt power source).
• The battery is located underneath an acce ss panel inside the rear compartment on the
left side of the vehicle. A remote batt ery terminal is located in the engine
compartment for jump-starting.
• Remove all metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, which might make an unintended electrical contact.
WARNING!
Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Park the booster vehicle within cable reach but without letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles, shif t the transmissioninto NEUTRAL, and turn the
ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Remove the plastic cover from the remote jump-start positive post (+) in the engine compartment.
If You Are Jump-Starting Your Vehicle:
• Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal on the boosterbattery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the remote jump-start positive
post (+).
• Connect the other cable to the negative terminal on the booster battery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the ear of the thermostat housing on the engine
in your vehicle. Make sure you have a good contact.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of anEDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obst acle, data that willassist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger s afety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better u nderstanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying
data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if
they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
