This system allows the driver to select a variety of useful
information by pressing the switches mounted on the
steering wheel. The EVIC consists of the following:
•Radio Info
• Fuel Economy Info
• Screen Setup
• Digital Vehicle Speed
• Analog Vehicle Speed
• Trip A
• Trip B
• Vehicle Info
– Tire Pressure
– Coolant Temperature – Oil Temperature
– Oil Life
• Stored Warning Messages
The system allows the driver to select information by
pressing the following buttons mounted on the steering
wheel:

332 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Base System
This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the
instrument cluster.
The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev-
els. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as part of the valve
stem, transmit tire pressure readings to the Receiver
Module.
NOTE: It is particularly important for you to check the
tire pressure in all of the tires on your vehicle regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
• Receiver Module.
• Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will illumi-
nate in the instrument cluster, a LOW TIRE PRESSURE
message and “Inflate Tire to XX” message will be dis-
played for a minimum of five seconds, and an audible
chime will be activated when one or more of the four
active road tire pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the inflation
pressure of each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire
to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure
value. The recommended cold placard pressure value is
the pressure value in the Inflate Tire to XXmessage
displayed in the EVIC. The system will automatically
update and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light will
extinguish and the LOW TIRE PRESSURE and “Inflate
Tire to XX” messages will turn off once the updated tire
pressures have been received. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) to
receive this information.
486 STARTING AND OPERATING

75 seconds and then remain on solid and a “SERVICE
TPM SYSTEM” message will be displayed for a mini-
mum of five seconds.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid and a “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will be
displayed for a minimum of five seconds.
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 update automatically 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
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.Premium System — If Equipped

CAUTION!
•DO NOT use sling-type equipment when towing.
Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not
attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defroster, etc.)
while being towed, the key must be in the ON/RUN
position, not the ACC position.
Automatic Transmission
Automatic transmission vehicles must be towed with
all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
CAUTION!
• DO NOT flat tow this vehicle. Damage to the
drivetrain will result.
• Do not dolly tow this vehicle. Use of a towing dolly
can cause significant damage to your vehicle. Dam-
age from improper towing is not covered under the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

552 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

If the key fob is unavailable, or the vehicle’s battery is
discharged, refer to “Shift Lever Override” in this section
for instructions on shifting the automatic transmission
out of PARK for loading onto a flatbed truck.
Manual Transmission
•The manufacturer recommends towing your vehicle
with all four wheels OFFthe ground using a flatbed.
• Manual transmission vehicles can also be flat towed
(all four wheels on the ground) with the transmission
in NEUTRAL.
CAUTION!
•DO NOT flat tow any disabled vehicle if condition
is related to the clutch, transmission or driveline.
Additional damage to the drivetrain could result.
