fault no longer exists, the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
no longer flash, the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message will not be pres-
ent, and a pressure value will be dis-
played instead of dashes. A system
fault can occur by any of the following
scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices
or driving next to facilities emitting
the same radio frequencies as the
TPMS sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermar-
ket window tinting that affects radio
wave signals.
3. Accumulation of excessive snow
and/or ice around the wheels or wheel
housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped
with TPMS sensors.
The EVIC will also display a “SER-
VICE TPM SYSTEM” message for a
minimum of five seconds when a sys-
tem fault possibly related to an incor-
rect sensor location fault is present. In
this case, the “SERVICE TPM SYS-TEM” message is then followed by a
graphic display with pressure values
still shown. This indicates that the
pressure values are still being received
from the TPM sensors but they may
not be in the correct vehicle position.
The system still needs to be serviced
as long as the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” message exists.
Vehicles With Compact Spare
1. The compact spare tire (for
versions/markets, where provided)
does not have a TPMS. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the pressure in
the compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare
tire in place of a road tire that has a
pressure below the low-pressure
warning limit, upon the next ignition
switch cycle, the “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will remain on,
the "TIRE LOW PRESSURE" mes-
sage will be displayed, a chime will
sound, and the EVIC will still display
a flashing pressure value in the
graphic display.
3. After driving the vehicle for up to
20 minutes above 24 km/h, the “TirePressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid. In addition,
the EVIC will display a “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message for a mini-
mum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value.
4. For each subsequent ignition
switch cycle, a chime will sound, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid, and
the EVIC will display a “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message for a mini-
mum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value.
5. Once you repair or replace the
original road tire, and reinstall it on
the vehicle in place of the compact
spare, the TPMS will update auto-
matically. In addition, the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
turn off and the graphic in the EVIC
will display a new pressure value in-
stead of dashes (- -), as long no tire
pressure is below the low pressure
warning limit in any of the four active
road tires.
255
NOTE:
The vehicle may need to be driven
for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h
in order for the TPMS to receive
this information.
TPMS DEACTIVATION AND
REACTIVATION
The TPMS can be deactivated if re-
placing all four wheel and tire assem-
blies (road tires) with wheel and tire
assemblies that do not have TPMS
Sensors, such as when installing win-
ter wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace
all four wheel and tire assemblies
(road tires) with those not equipped
with TPM Sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for at least 20 minutes above
24 km/h. The TPMS will chime and
the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) will display a
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message,
and the graphic will display “- -“ in
place of four tire pressure values.Upon the next ignition switch cycle,
the TPMS will no longer chime or turn
on the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” or display the text message
in the EVIC. However, the graphic
will still display “- -.“
To reactivate the TPMS, first, replace
all four wheel and tire assemblies
(road tires) with those equipped with
TPM Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle
for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h.
The TPMS will chime and the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds,
the EVIC will display a “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message, and the
graphic will display tire pressure val-
ues to show that the TPMS is receiving
sensor data.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
— GASOLINE ENGINE
All engines are designed to meet all
emissions regulations and provide ex-
cellent fuel economy and performance
when using high quality unleaded
gasoline with a minimum research oc-
tane rating of 91. The use of premium
gasoline is not recommended, as itwill not provide any benefit over regu-
lar gasoline in these engines.
Light spark knock at low engine
speeds is not harmful to your engine.
However, continued heavy spark
knock at high speeds can cause dam-
age and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause prob-
lems such as hard starting, stalling,
and hesitations. If you experience
these symptoms, try another brand of
gasoline before considering service for
the vehicle.
Over 40 automobile manufacturer's
world wide have issued and endorsed
consistent gasoline specifications (the
World Wide Fuel Charter, WWFC)
which define fuel properties necessary
to deliver enhanced emissions, perfor-
mance, and durability for your ve-
hicle. The manufacturer recommends
the use of gasoline that meets the
WWFC specifications if they are
available.
