position.
This indicator has two f unctions:If it comes on while driving, it
indicates that one or more of your

If this happens, pull to the side of the
road when it is saf e, check which tire
has lost pressure, and determine the
cause. If it is because of a f lat tire,
replace the flat tire with the compact
spare (see page ), and have the
f lat tire repaired as soon as possible.
If two or more tires are underinf lated,
call a prof essional towing service
(see page ). For more

You can manually open or close the
sliding doors. The MAIN switch
must be in the OFF position. To

outside door handle, and slide the
door back. It will latch in the f ully
open position. To close, pull either
handle and slide the door f orward.
When the door is almost closed, the
auto-closer will pull the door shut.When replacing a flat tire, make sure
to turn of f the power sliding door
MAIN switch on the dashboard.
Do not allow anyone to step on the
lower arm of the sliding door while
the door is open. This could damage
the sliding door mechanism.
Whenyoudrivewithchildreninyour
vehicle, use the childproof door
locks (see page ). This will
prevent children f rom opening the
doors accidentally. Do not put any item in the door
pocket that sticks out f rom the
pocket. It can prevent the doors f rom
opening or closing properly, and
damage the vehicle body.
Bef ore operating the sliding doors,
check that passengers, especially
children, do not have their hands on
the edge of the sliding door or on the
door pillar. The auto-reverse motor
stops working when the door is
about to latch so the auto-closer can
pull the door shut. If there is an obstacle in the door sill,
the power sliding door may not open
or close properly. When removing
the obstacle f rom the door sill, make

When the low tire pressure indicator
is on, one or more of your tires is
signif icantly underinf lated. You
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inf late them to
the proper pressure as indicated on
the vehicle’s tire inf ormation placard.
If you think you can saf ely drive a
short distance to a service station,
proceed slowly, and inf late the tire to
the recommended pressure shown
on the driver’s doorjamb.
If the tire is f lat, or if the tire
pressure is too low to continue
driving, replace the tire with the
compact spare tire (see page ).
If you cannot make the low tire
pressure indicator go out af ter
inflating the tires to the specified
values, have your dealer check the
system as soon as possible.Driving on a signif icantly under
inf lated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Underinf lation also reduces f uel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
af f ect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
Becausetirepressurevariesby
temperature and other conditions,
the low tire pressure indicator may
come on unexpectedly.
Each tire has its own pressure
sensor (not including the spare tire).
If the air pressure of a tire becomes
signif icantly low while driving, the
sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure indicator to come on. Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the
engine and monitors the pressure in
your tires while driving.

For example, if you check and f ill
your tires in a warm area, then drive
in extremely cold weather, the tire
pressure will be lower than
measured and could be underinf lated
and cause the low tire pressure
indicator to come on. Or, if you
check and adjust your tire pressure
in cooler conditions, and drive into
extremely hot conditions, the tire
maybecomeoverinflated.However,
the low tire pressure indicator will
not come on if the tires are
overinf lated.
Refer to page for tire inflation
guidelines.
Although your tire pressure is
monitored, you must manually check
thetirepressuresmonthly.If the low tire pressure indicator or
TPMS indicator comes on, the VSA
system automatically turns on even if
the VSA system is turned of f by
pressing the VSA OFF switch (see
page ). If this happens, you
cannot turn the VSA system of f by
pressing the VSA OFF switch again.
When you restart the vehicle with
thecompactsparetire,theTPMS
indicator may also come on and stay
on after driving several miles
(kilometers).
Each tire, including the spare, should
be checked monthly when cold, and
set to the recommended inf lation
pressure as specif ied on the tire
information label and in the owner’s
manual (see page ).
This indicator comes on and stays on
if there is a problem with the tire
pressure monitoring system.
If this happens, the system will shut
of f and no longer monitor tire
pressures. Have the system checked
by your dealer as soon as possible.

If you have a f lat tire, the low tire
pressure indicator will come on.
Replace the flat tire with the
compact spare tire (see page ).
Each wheel (except the compact
sparetirewheel)isequippedwitha
tire pressure sensor. You must use
TPMS specif ic wheels. It is
recommended that you always have
your tires serviced by your dealer or
qualif ied technician.The low tire pressure indicator or
the TPMS indicator will go off, after
several miles (kilometers) driving,
when you replace the spare tire with
the specif ied regular tire equipped
with the tire pressure monitor sensor.
Never use a puncture-repairing agent
in a f lat tire. If used, you will have to
replace the tire pressure sensor.

dealer as soon as possible.
After you replace the flat tire with
thecompactsparetire,thelowtire
pressure indicator stays on. This is
normal; the system is not monitoring
the spare tire pressure. Manually
check the spare tire pressure to be
sure it is correct. Af ter several miles
(kilometers) driving with the
compact spare tire, the TPMS
indicator comes on and the low tire
pressure indicator goes of f . Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that turns on every time you start the

signif icantly low while driving, the

If there is a problem with the TPMS,
this indicator begins to f lash. It stops
flashing after approximately 1
minute, then stays on. You will also
see a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’
message on the multi-inf ormation
display (see page ).Although your tire pressure is

If the tire is f lat, or if the tire
pressure is too low to continue

The TPMS can misinterpret the tire
pressure because of dif f erences in
air temperature. For example, if you
check and f ill your tires in a warm
area, then drive in extremely cold
weather, the tire pressure will be
lowerthanmeasuredandcouldbe
underinf lated and cause the low tire

and drive into extremely hot
conditions, the tires may become

come on if the tires are overinf lated.
