Four TPMS Sensors
Various TPMS messages, whichdisplay in the Electronic Vehicle In-
formation Center (EVIC), and
graphics displaying tire pressures
TPMS Telltale Warning Light
TPMS Low Pressure Warnings
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will illuminate in the in-
strument cluster, and an audible
chime will be activated when one or
more of the four active road tire pres-
sures are low. In addition, the EVIC
will display a “Inflate Tire to XX”
message and a “LOW TIRE PRES-
SURE” message for a minimum of
five seconds and a graphic display of
the pressure value(s) with the low
tire(s) flashing. The recommended
cold placard pressure inflation value
is the pressure value displayed in the
“Inflate Tire to XX” message dis-
played in the EVIC. Should a low tire condition occur on
any of the four active road tire(s), you
should stop as soon as possible, and
inflate the low tire(s) that is flashing
on the graphic display to the vehicle’s
recommended cold tire pressure
value. The system will automatically
update, the “Inflate Tire to XX” mes-
sage will no longer be displayed, the
graphic display of the pressure val-
ue(s) will stop flashing, and the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will extinguish once the updated tire
pressure(s) have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up
to 20 minutes above 24 km/h to re-
ceive this information.SERVICE TPM SYSTEM Message
The “Tire Pressure Monitoring Tell-
tale Light” will flash on and off for 75
seconds, and remain on solid when a
system fault is detected. The system
fault will also sound a chime. The
EVIC will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message for a minimum of
five seconds. This text message is then
followed by a graphic display, with
- -
in place of the pressure value(s) indi-
cating which TPMS Sensor(s) is not
being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the
system fault still exists. If the system
fault no longer exists, the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
no longer flash, the “SERVICE TPM
Low Tire Pressure Display
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM Display
265
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 valuesstill 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 “Inflate Tire to XX” message and
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 “Tire
Pressure 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
seconds 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.
266
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.
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
REACTIVATIONThe TPMS can be deactivated if replac-
ing all four wheel and tire assemblies
(road tires) with wheel and tire assem-
blies that do not have TPMS Sensors,
such as when installing winter wheel
and tire assemblies on your vehicle.To deactivate the TPMS, first, replace
all four wheel and tire assemblies
(road tires) with those not equippedwith 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
seconds 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 it
will 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.

ADDING FUEL
LOCKING FUEL FILLER
CAP (GAS CAP) (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The locking fuel filler cap is located
behind the fuel filler door, on the left
side of the vehicle. If the cap is lost or
damaged, be sure the replacement cap
has been designed for use with this
vehicle.
NOTE: The driver's side sliding
door cannot be opened while the
fuel door is open. This feature op-
erates only when the sliding door
is fully closed prior to opening the
fuel door.
1. Insert the fuel cap key into the key
cylinder and turn the key to the right
to unlock.
2. Turn the gas cap knob to the left to
remove the cap.3. When tightening the filler cap,
tighten until two or three clicks are
heard to ensure that the cap is prop-
erly seated.
CAUTION!
Damage to the fuel system or
emissions control system could
result from using an improper
fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
A poorly fitting cap could let im-
purities into the fuel system and
may cause the “Malfunction Indi-
cator Light (MIL)” to turn on,
due to fuel vapors escaping from
the system.
To avoid fuel spillage and over- filling, do not “top off” the fuel
tank after filling.WARNING!
Never have any smoking materi-als lit in or near the vehicle when
the gas cap is removed or the tank
is being filled.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Never add fuel when the engine is running. It may cause the MIL to
turn on and could cause a fire.
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container
that is inside of a vehicle. You
could be burned. Always place
gas containers on the ground
while filling.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.
This is an indication that the
fuel filler cap is properly
tightened.
If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the MIL may come on.
Be sure the gas cap is tightened
every time the vehicle is refu-
eled.

Towing Requirements – Trailer
Brakes
– Donotinterconnect the hydraulic
brake system or vacuum system of
your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate brak-
ing and possible personal injury.
– When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated
brake system, an electronic brake
controller is not required.
– Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 450 kg and re-
quired for trailers in excess of
750 kg.CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 450
kg loaded, it should have its own
brakes, and they should be of ad-
equate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lin-
ing wear, higher brake pedal effort,
and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes toyour vehicle's hydraulic brake
lines. It can overload your brake
system and cause it to fail. You
might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an ac-
cident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When
towing, you should allow for ad-
ditional space between your ve-
hicle and the vehicle in front of
you. Failure to do so could result
in an accident.
Towing Requirements – Trailer
Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regard-
less of the trailer size, stop lights and
turn signals on the trailer are required
for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include
a seven-pin or a thirteen-pin wiring
harness. Use a factory approved
trailer harness and connector.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring
into the vehicles wiring harness. The electrical connections are all
complete to the vehicle but you must
mate the harness to a trailer connec-
tor.

4. Raise the vehicle by turning the
jack screw to the right, using the
swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only
until the tire just clears the surface
and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift
provides maximum stability.WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than nec-
essary can make the vehicle less
stable. It could slip off the jack and
hurt someone near it. Raise the ve-
hicle only enough to remove the
tire.
5. Remove the wheel lug nuts, for
vehicles with wheel covers, remove
the cover from the wheel by hand. Do
not pry the wheel cover off. Then pull
the wheel off the hub.
6. Install the compact spare tire.
Lightly tighten the lug nuts.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with
the valve stem facing outward. The
vehicle could be damaged if the
spare tire is mounted incorrectly.WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not tighten the
wheel nuts fully until the vehicle
has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal
injury.
NOTE: Do not install the wheel
cover on the compact spare.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the
jack screw to the left. 8. Finish tightening the lug nuts.
Push down on the wrench while at the
end of the handle for increased lever-
age. Tighten the lug nuts in a star
pattern until each nut has been tight-
ened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 138 N·m. If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your
authorized dealer or at a service sta-
tion.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed
position.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward
in a collision or hard stop could
endanger the occupants of the ve-
hicle. Always stow the jack parts
and the spare tire in the places pro-
vided. Have the deflated (flat) tire
repaired or replaced immediately.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire and
compact spare tire cover assembly in
the rear cargo area. Do not stow the
deflated tire in the spare tire loca-
tion. Have the full-sized tire repaired
or replaced, as soon as possible.

5. Continue to rotate the nut to the
right until you hear the winch mecha-
nism click three times. It cannot be
overtightened. Check under the ve-
hicle to ensure the compact spare tire/
cover assembly is positioned correctly
against the underside of the vehicle.CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed
specifically to stow a compact spare
tire only. Do not attempt to use the
winch to stow the full size flat tire,
or any other full-size tire. Vehicle
damage may result.
ROAD TIRE
INSTALLATION
Vehicles Equipped With Wheel
Covers
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. To ease the installation process for
