CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for
the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warn-
ing have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Un-
desirable system operation or sensor
damage may result when using re-
placement 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 ve-
hicle is equipped with a TPMS, as
damage to the sensors may result.
9. Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) The Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is part of an on-
board diagnostic system,
called OBD, that monitors en-
gine and automatic transmission con-
trol systems. The light will illuminate
when the key is in the ON/RUN posi-
tion, before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the
key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the
condition checked promptly. Certain conditions, such as a loose or
missing gas cap, poor fuel quality,
etc., may illuminate the MIL after en-
gine start. The vehicle should be ser-
viced if the light stays on through
several of your typical driving cycles.
In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on
could cause damage to the engine
control system. It also could affect
fuel economy and drivability. If the
MIL is flashing, severe catalytic con-
verter damage and power loss will
soon occur. Immediate service is re-
quired.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic con-
verter, as referenced above, can
reach higher temperatures than in
normal operating conditions. This
can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances
such as dry plants, wood, cardboard,
etc. This could result in death or
serious injury to the driver, occu-
pants or others.
10. Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light (for versions/
markets, where provided) The “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator
Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when
the ignition switch is turned to the
ON/RUN position. It should go out
with the engine running. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” comes on continuously with
the engine running, a malfunction has
been detected in the ESC system. If
this light remains on after several ig-
nition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several kilometers at speeds

INFORMATION CENTER
(EVIC) DISPLAYS
The EVIC display consists of three
sections:
1. The top line where compass direc-
tion, odometer line and outside tem-
perature are displayed.
2. The main display area where the
menus and pop up messages are dis-
played.
3. The reconfigurable telltales sec-
tion below the odometer line. The main display area will normally
display the main menu or the screens
of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also dis-
plays "pop up" messages that consist
of approximately 60 possible warning
or information messages. These pop
up messages fall into several catego-
ries:

Disc Formats
The VES™ DVD player is capable of
playing the following types of discs
(120 mm or 80 mm diameter):
DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 videocompression) (see notes about DVD
Region Codes)
DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only)
Audio Compact Discs (CDs)
CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio format files
Video CDs (MPEG-1 video com- pression)
DVD Region Codes
The VES™ DVD player and many
DVD discs are coded by geographic
region. These region codes must
match in order for the disc to play. If the region code for the DVD disc does
not match the region code for the
player, the disc will not play and will
be ejected.
DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in
the VES™ DVD player, the DVD-
Audio title on the disc is played by
default (most DVD-Audio discs also
have a Video title, but the Video title is
ignored). All multi-channel program
material is automatically mixed down
to two channels, which may result in a
lowered apparent volume level. If you
increase the volume level to account
for this change in level, remember to
lower the volume before changing the
disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The VES™ DVD player will play
CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in
CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as
a CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA
files. The player will also play DVD-
Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (ei-
ther pressed or recorded) are not sup-
ported.
If you record a disc using a personal
computer, there may be cases where
the VES™ DVD player may not be
able to play some or the entire disc,
even if it is recorded in a compatible
format and is playable on other play-
ers. To help avoid playback problems,
use the following guidelines when re-
cording discs.
Open sessions are ignored. Only
sessions that are closed are play-
able.
For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-Audio sessions,
the player will renumber the tracks
so each track number is unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the ISO-9660 (Level 1
or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo for-
mat. Other formats (such as UDF,
HFS, or others) are not supported.
The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99 folders per
CD-R and CD-RW disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD for- mats will only play the Video_TS
portion of the disc.
203
The DVD player may shut down dur-
ing extremely hot conditions, such as
when the vehicle’s interior tempera-
ture is above 48°C . When this occurs,
the DVD player will display "VES
High Temp" and will shut off the
VES™ displays until a safe tempera-
ture is reached. This shutdown is nec-
essary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.

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.
(Continued)
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

WARNING!(Continued)
Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one
side of the vehicle to the other can
cause the vehicle to drift to the
right or left.
Always drive with each tire in-
flated to the recommended cold
tire inflation pressure.
Economy
Improper inflation pressures can
cause uneven wear patterns to de-
velop across the tire tread. These ab-
normal wear patterns will reduce
tread life resulting in a need for earlier
tire replacement. Under-inflation,
also increases tire rolling resistance
resulting in higher fuel consumption.
Ride Comfort And Vehicle
Stability
Proper tire inflation contributes to a
comfortable ride. Over-inflation pro-
duces a jarring and uncomfortable
ride. TIRE INFLATION
PRESSURES
The proper cold tire inflation pressure
is listed on the
driver's side “B” Pillar
or rear edge of the driver's side door.
The tire pressure should be checked
and adjusted, and the tires inspected
for signs of wear or visible damage, at
least once a month. Use a good quality
pocket-type gauge to check tire pres-
sure. Do not make a visual judgement
when determining proper inflation.
Radial tires may look properly in-
flated, even when they are under-
inflated.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve
stem cap. This will prevent moisture
and dirt from entering the valve
stem, which could damage the valve
stem.
Inflation pressures specified on the
placard are always “cold tire inflation
pressure.” Cold tire inflation pressure
is defined as the tire pressure after the
vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than
1.6 km after a three-hour period. The
cold tire inflation pressure must not
exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure molded into the tire sidewall.
Check tire pressures more often if
subject to a wide range of outdoor
temperatures, as tire pressures vary
with temperature changes.
Tire pressures change by approxi-
mately 0.07 BAR per 7° C of air tem-
perature change. Keep this in mind
when checking tire pressure inside a
garage, especially in the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature is
20°C and the outside temperature is
0°C, then the cold tire inflation pres-
sure should be increased by 0.21
BAR, which equals 0.07 BAR for ev-
ery 7°C for this outside temperature
condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 0.13
to 0.4 BAR during operation. Do not
reduce this normal pressure buildup
or your tire pressure will be too low.
245
TIRE PRESSURES FOR
HIGH-SPEED OPERATION
The manufacturer advocates driving
at safe speeds within posted speed
limits. Where speed limits or condi-
tions are such that the vehicle can be
driven at high speeds, maintaining
correct tire inflation pressure is very
important. Increased tire pressure
and reduced vehicle loading may be
required for high-speed vehicle op-
eration. Refer to original-equipment
information, or an authorized tire
dealer, for recommended safe operat-
ing speeds, loading and cold tire infla-
tion pressures.WARNING!
High-speed driving, with your ve-
hicle at or above maximum load, is
dangerous. The added strain on your
tires could cause them to fail. You
could have a serious collision. Do not
drive a vehicle loaded to the maxi-
mum capacity at continuous speeds
above 120 km/h.RADIAL-PLY TIRES
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with
other types of tires on your vehicle
will cause your vehicle to handle
poorly. The instability could cause a
collision. Always use radial ply tires
in sets of four. Never combine them
with other types of tires.
Cuts and punctures in radial tires are
repairable only in the tread area be-
cause of sidewall flexing. Consult
your authorized tire dealer for radial
tire repairs.
SPARE TIRE MATCHING
ORIGINAL EQUIPPED
TIRE AND WHEEL (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Your vehicle may be equivalent with a
spare tire and wheel in look and func-
tion as the original equipment tire and
wheel found on the front or rear axle
of your vehicle. This spare tire may be
used in the tire rotation for your ve-
hicle. If your vehicle has this option refer to an authorized tire dealer for
the recommended tire rotation pat-
tern.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an
original equipment tire and wheel as a
spare, a non-matching temporary
emergency use spare may be equipped
with your vehicle. Temporary use
spares are engineered to be used only
with your vehicle. Your vehicle may
be equipped with one of the following
types of non-matching temporary use
spares; compact, full size, or limited-
use. Do not install more than one non-
matching temporary use spare tire/
wheel on the vehicle at any given time.
CAUTION!
Because of the reduced ground clear-
ance, do not take your vehicle
through an automatic car wash with
a compact, full size or limited-use
temporary spare installed. Damage
to the vehicle may result.
