WARNING!(Continued)
When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, (or in a location ac-
cessible to children), and do not
leave the ignition (in a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™) in the ACC or ON/RUN
position A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Before moving the shift lever outof PARK, you must place the ig-
nition from the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion to the ON/RUN position, and
also press the brake pedal. Other-
wise, damage to the shift lever
could result.
DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK or NEU-
TRAL into another gear range, as
this can damage the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be
used to ensure that you have engaged
the transmission into the PARK posi-
tion:
When shifting into PARK, firmly move the shift lever all the way
forward and to the left until it stops
and is fully seated.
Look at the transmission gear posi- tion display and verify that it indi-
cates the PARK position.
With brake pedal released, verify that the shift lever will not move out
of PARK.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle
backward. Shift into REVERSE only
after the vehicle has come to a com-
plete stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is
standing for prolonged periods with
the engine running. The engine may
be started in this range. Apply the
parking brake and shift the transmis-
sion into PARK if you must leave the
vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and
never turn off the ignition to coast
down a hill. These are unsafe prac-
tices that limit your response to
changing traffic or road conditions.
You might lose control of the ve-
hicle and have a collision.
239
NOTE: Even if the transmission
can be reset, we recommend that
you visit your authorized dealer at
your earliest possible conve-
nience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to deter-
mine if the problem could recur.
If the transmission cannot be reset,
authorized dealer service is required.
Electronic Range Select (ERS)
Operation
The Electronic Range Select (ERS)
shift control allows the driver to limit
the highest available gear when the
shift lever is in the DRIVE position.
For example, if you shift the transmis-
sion into 3 (third gear), the transmis-
sion will not shift above third gear(except to prevent engine overspeed),
but will shift down into second and
first gears normally.
You can switch between DRIVE and
ERS mode at any vehicle speed. When
the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-
tion, the transmission will operate au-
tomatically, shifting between all
available gears. Tapping the shift le-
ver to the left (-) will activate ERS
mode, display the current gear in the
instrument cluster, and maintain that
gear as the top available gear. Once in
ERS mode, tapping the shift lever to
the left (-) or right (+) will change the
top available gear.
To exit ERS mode, simply press and
hold the shift lever to the right (+)
until “D” is once again displayed in
the instrument cluster.
WARNING!
Do not downshift for additional en-
gine braking on a slippery surface.
The drive wheels could lose their
grip and the vehicle could skid,
causing a collision or personal in-
jury.

NOTE: To select the proper gear
position for maximum decelera-
tion (engine braking), tap the shift
lever to the left (-) repeatedly as the
vehicle slows. The transmission
will shift to the range from which the vehicle can best be slowed
down.
Overdrive Operation
The automatic transmission includes
an electronically controlled Overdrive
(sixth gear). The transmission willautomatically shift into Overdrive if
the following conditions are present:
The shift lever is in the DRIVE po-
sition.
The transmission fluid has reached an adequate temperature.
241
NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to re-place normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide
warning of a tire failure or con-
dition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while ad-
justing your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the ve-
hicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure,
using an accurate tire pressure
gage, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light.” Seasonal temperature changes
will affect tire pressure, and the
TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
BASE SYSTEM
The TPMS uses wireless technology
with wheel rim mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels.
Sensors, mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver
Module.
NOTE: It is particularly impor-
tant for you to check the tire pres-
sure in all of your tires regularly
and to maintain the proper pres-
sure.
The Basic TPMS consists of the fol-
lowing components:
Receiver Module
Four Tire Pressure MonitoringSensors
TPMS Telltale Warning Light Tire Pressure Monitoring Low
Tire Pressure Warnings
The “Tire Pressure Moni-
toring Telltale Light” will
illuminate in the instru-
ment cluster, an “Inflate
Tire to XX” message and a "TIRE
LOW PRESSURE" message will dis-
play in the instrument cluster, and an
audible chime will be activated when
one or more of the four active road tire
pressures are low. 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 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
tire pressure value (located on the
placard on the driver's-side B-Pillar).
The system will automatically update
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will extinguish once
the updated tire pressures have been
received.
268
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
seconds.
PREMIUM SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The TPMS uses wireless technology
with wheel rim-mounted electronic
sensors to monitor tire pressure levels.
Sensors mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem transmit tire
pressure readings to the Receiver
Module.
NOTE: It is particularly impor-
tant to regularly check and main-
tain proper tire pressure in all the
tires.The Premium TPMS consists of the
following components:
Receiver Module
Four TPMS Sensors
Various TPMS messages, which
display 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” message
in the graphic display with the pres-
sure value(s) with the low tire(s)
flashing. The recommended cold
placard pressure inflation value is the
pressure value displayed in the “In-
flate Tire to XX” message displayed 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.
Low Tire Pressure Display

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 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 "LOW TIRE" message will be dis-
played, a chime will sound, and the
EVIC will still display a flashing pres-
sure 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”
SERVICE TPM SYSTEM Display
271
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.
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 tirepressure 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
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 assemblies
(road tires) with those not equipped
with 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.
