Sun Shade
•For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a fixed glass roof, there is a sun
shade that can be open or closed.To open the sun shade press the tab and move the
shade to a full open position.
WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible
to children).Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by
the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch.Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
•In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof.You could also be seriously injured or killed.Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof.Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening.Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
•Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound.If buffeting

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Service Propulsion System Warning Light
•The Service Propulsion System Warning Light will illuminate if there is a malfunction
detected with the Propulsion System.If the light comes on or remains on while driving
see your authorized dealer.
- Electric Vehicle System Warning Light
•This indicator will illuminate when there is a malfunction in the Electric Vehicle System.
If the EV malfunction light comes on while driving or charging see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
- Regenerative Brake System Warning Light
•If the light turns on and remains on while driving, it suggests that there is a potential
problem with the Regenerative Brake System (RBS) and the need for system service.
See your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
- Power Steering System Warning
This light is used to manage the electrical warning of the EPS (Electric Power Steering
System).When the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position, the warning light will illu-
minate momentarily.If the warning light stays on, cycle the ignition to the OFF position
and back to ON/RUN.If the warning light stays on, contact your authorized dealer.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
•Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
•Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated.This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air tempera-
ture change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature
is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS pres-
sures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
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 vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

tem problem.
Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous.Part of the brake system
may have failed.It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision.Have
the vehicle checked immediately.
- 12 Volt Charging System Light
•This light shows the status of the 12 Volt electrical charging system.If the charging
system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system.
•We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on.Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.

serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.
TIREFIT KIT
•Your vehicle is equipped with a TIREFIT Kit.
•Small punctures up to 1/4” (6 mm) in the tire tread can be sealed with TIREFIT.
Foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) should not be removed from the tire.TIREFIT
can be used in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F (-20°C).
•This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle up to
100 miles (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (90 km/h).
