ANTI-LOCK BRAKE
SYSTEM (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
provides increased vehicle stability
and brake performance under most
braking conditions. The system oper-
ates with a separate computer to
modulate hydraulic pressure to pre-
vent wheel lock-up and help avoid
skidding on slippery surfaces.
ABS is activated during braking un-
der certain road or stopping condi-
tions. ABS-inducing conditions can
include ice, snow, gravel, bumps, rail-
road tracks, loose debris, or panic
stops.
You may experience the following
when the brake system goes into anti-
lock:
The ABS motor running (it maycontinue to run for a short time
after the stop)
A clicking sound of solenoid valves
Brake pedal pulsations
A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop
WARNING!
The Anti-Lock Brake System con-tains sophisticated electronic
equipment that may be suscep-
tible to interference caused by im-
properly installed, or high output
radio transmitting equipment.
This interference can cause pos-
sible loss of anti-lock braking ca-
pability. Installation of such
equipment should be performed
by qualified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes
will diminish their effectiveness
and may lead to a collision.
Pumping makes the stopping dis-
tance longer. Just press firmly on
your brake pedal when you need
to slow down or stop.
The Anti-Lock Brake System can-
not prevent collisions, including
those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another
vehicle too closely, or hydroplan-
ing.

WARNING!(Continued)
The capabilities of an ABS-
equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or danger-
ous manner, which could jeopar-
dize the user’s safety or the safety
of others.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be
the same size and type, and tires must
be properly inflated to produce accu-
rate signals for the computer.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE
WARNING LIGHT The “Anti-Lock Brake
Warning Light” monitors
the anti-lock brake system.
The light will come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the ON
position and may stay on for as long
as four seconds.
If the “Anti-Lock Brake Warning
Light” remains on or comes on while
driving, it indicates that the anti-lock
portion of the brake system is not
functioning and that service is re-
quired. However, the conventional

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.
Vehicles With Compact Spare
1. The compact spare tire (for
versions/markets, where provided)
does not have a TPMS sensor. There-
fore 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, a chime will sound, a
"TIRE LOW PRESSURE" messagewill be displayed and the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
turn on.
3. After driving for up to 20 minutes
above 24 km/h, the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on solid.
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.
5. Once you repair or replace the
original road tire and reinstall it on
the vehicle in place of the compact
spare tire, the TPMS will automati-
cally update, and the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light” will turn
off as long as no tire pressure is below
the low-pressure warning limit in any
of the four active road tires. The ve-
hicle may need to be driven for up to
20 minutes above 24 km/h 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 assem-
blies (road tires) with those not
equipped with TPM Sensors. Then,
drive the vehicle for at least 20 min-
utes above 24 km/h. The TPMS will
chime and the “TPM Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds
and then remain on solid. Upon the
next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS
will no longer chime or turn on the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light.” To reactivate the TPMS, first,
replace all four wheel and tire assem-
blies (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 sec-
onds.

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.

Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights
that are lightweight and less suscep-
tible to stone breakage than glass
headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as
glass and therefore different lens
cleaning procedures must be fol-
lowed.
To minimize the possibility of scratch-
ing the lenses and reducing light out-
put, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild
soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning compo-
nents, solvents, steel wool or other
aggressive material to clean the
lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned
on a regular basis with any commer-
cial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner.
Use caution when cleaning the inside
rear window equipped with electric
defrosters or the right rear quarter
window equipped with the radio an-tenna. Do not use scrapers or other
sharp instruments that may scratch
the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror,
spray cleaner on the towel or rag that
you are using. Do not spray cleaner
directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument
Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments
in this vehicle are molded in clear
plastic. When cleaning the lenses,
care must be taken to avoid scratch-
ing the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild
soap solution may be used, but do not
use high alcohol content or abrasive
cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean
with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the seat
belts with chemical solvents or abra-
sive cleaners. This will weaken the
fabric. Sun damage can also weaken
the fabric.
If the seat belts need cleaning, use a
mild soap solution or lukewarm wa-
ter. Do not remove the belts from the
car to wash them.
Replace the seat belts if they appear
frayed or worn, or if the buckles do
not work properly.
CLEANING THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
CUPHOLDERS
Removal
Pull the flexible liner from the cup-
holder drawer starting at one edge to
ease removal.
Cleaning
The liner is top shelf dishwasher safe,
or you may follow the cleaning proce-
dure below.
Soak the liner in a mixture of medium
hot tap water and one teaspoon of
mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for
approximately 30 minutes. After
30 minutes, pull the liner from the
water and dip it back into the water
about six times. This will loosen any
remaining debris. Rinse the liner thor-
oughly under warm running water.
