message displays when the
pressure in one or more of the
vehicle's tires needs to be checked.
This message also displays LEFT

pressure message appears on the
DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have
the tire pressures checked and set
to those shown on the Tire Loading
Information label. See Tires
on
page 10‑43, Vehicle Load Limitson
page 9‑22, and Tire Pressureon
page 10‑50. The DIC also shows the tire pressure values. See
Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on
page 5‑25. If the tire pressure is
low, the low tire pressure warning
light comes on. See Tire Pressure
Light
on page 5‑21.
SERVICE TIRE MONITORING

Headlamp Aiming
The headlamp aiming system has
been preset at the factory.
If the vehicle is damaged in an
accident, the aim of the headlamps
may be affected and adjustment
may be necessary.
It is recommended that a dealer/
retailer adjust the headlamps.
To re-aim the headlamps yourself,
use the following procedure.
The vehicle should be properly
prepared as follows:
.The vehicle should be placed so
the headlamps are 7.6 m (25 ft)
from a light colored wall.
.The vehicle must have all
four tires on a level surface
which is level all the way to
the wall.

Do not include the compact
spare tire in the tire rotation.
After the tires have been
rotated, adjust the front and rear
inflation pressures as shown on
the Tire and Loading Information
label. SeeTire Pressure
on
page 10‑50
and Vehicle Load
Limits
on page 9‑22.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
System. See Tire Pressure
Monitor Operation
on page 10‑54.
Make certain that all wheel
nuts are properly tightened.
See “Wheel Nut Torque” under
Capacities and Specifications
on
page 12‑2
.
{WARNING
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
make wheel nuts become loose
after time. The wheel could come
off and cause an accident. When
changing a wheel, remove any
rust or dirt from places where the
wheel attaches to the vehicle.
In an emergency, use a cloth or a
paper towel to do this; but be sure
to use a scraper or wire brush
later, if needed, to get all the rust
or dirt off. See If a Tire Goes Flat
on page 10‑65.
When It Is Time for
New Tires
Various factors, such as
maintenance, temperatures, driving
speeds, vehicle loading, and road
conditions influence when you need
new tires.
One way to tell when it is time for
new tires is to check the treadwear
indicators, which appear when the
tires have only 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) or
less of tread remaining.
