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.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop the
vehicle.If the A/C system is on, turn it off.Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
idle the vehicle.If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine

Change Engine Oil
•Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system.The “Change En-
gine Oil” message will flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds after a
single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval.The engine
oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change in-
terval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal driving style.
•Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition
switch to the ON/RUN position.To turn off the message temporarily, press and re-
lease theMENUbutton.To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the
scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure:
1.Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.(do not start the engine).
2.Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3.Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset.If necessary, repeat this procedure.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking
the appropriate action:
•On the highways — slow down.
•In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an overheat condition:
•If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
•You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to
floor and the Fan control to high.This allows the heater core to act as a supplement
to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
•If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
•We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!
•Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.
•Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.The vehicle could slip off the jack
and fall on you.You could be crushed.Never put any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack.
•Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.if you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a authorized dealer where it can be raised on a
lift.
•The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only.The jack should not be
used to lift the vehicle for service purposes.The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm, level surface only.Avoid ice or slippery areas.
•After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in the original carrier and loca-
tion.While driving you may experience abrupt stopping, rapid acceleration, or
sharp turns.A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move
around with force, resulting in serious injury.
•Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
•Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as pos-
sible before raising the vehicle.
•Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
•Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
•Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in PARK; a manual
transmission in REVERSE.
•Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
•Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
•Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire
change.
•If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
•To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be
stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
•Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle unstable and cause
a collision.It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.Raise the vehicle
only enough to remove the tire.
•A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could injure some-
one in the vehicle.Always stow the jack parts and the extra tire and wheel in the
places provided.

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
•Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expi-
ration date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system.
Refer to “Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose
Replacement.”
•The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use.After each
use, always replace these components immediately at an authorized dealer.
•When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will
remove the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel components.Once the sealant
dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly discarded.
•For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the Tire Service Kit.
•You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to inflate bicycle tires.The kit also comes
with two needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of
the air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items.However, use
only the Air Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air
Mode when inflating such items to avoid injecting sealant into them.The Tire Service
Kit Sealant is only intended to seal punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in
the tread of your vehicle.
•Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With Tire Service Kit
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use Tire Service Kit:
1.Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2.Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is
near to the ground.This will allow the Tire Service Kit Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the
valve stem and keep the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground.This will provide the best
positioning of the kit when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the
air pump.Move the vehicle as necessary to place the valve stem in this position be-
fore proceeding.
3.Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission)
and cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4.Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use Tire Service Kit:
1.Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2.Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of
the hose.
3.Place the Tire Service Kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4.Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the
Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
