Tire Pressure Monitor This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). The low tire pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in
pressure of one of the vehicle's
tires. If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and inflate
the tires to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tire and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits 0 198 . The
warning light will remain on until the
tire pressure is corrected.
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor
System 0 308 . Engine Oil Life System The engine oil life system calculates
engine oil life based on vehicle use
and displays the CHANGE ENGINE

202 Driving and Operating
Starting and
Operating New Vehicle Break-In Follow these recommended
guidelines during the first
2 400 km (1,500 mi) of driving this
vehicle. Parts have a break-in
period and performance will be
better in the long run.
For the first 2 400 km (1,500 mi):
.
Avoid full throttle starts and
abrupt stops.
.
Do not exceed 4000 engine rpm.
.
Avoid driving at any one
constant speed, fast or slow.
.
Avoid downshifting to brake or
slow the vehicle when the
engine speed will exceed
4000 rpm.
.
Do not let the engine labor.
Never lug the engine in high
gear at low speeds. .
Do not participate in track
events, sport driving schools,
or similar activities during this
break-in period.
.
Check engine oil with every
refueling and add if necessary.
Oil and fuel consumption may be
higher than normal during the
first 2 400 km (1,500 mi).
.
To break in new tires, drive at
moderate speeds and avoid hard
cornering for the first
300 km (200 mi). New tires do
not have maximum traction and
may tend to slip.
.
New brake linings also need a
break – in period. Avoid making
hard stops during the first
300 km (200 mi). This is
recommended every time brake
linings are replaced. Ignition Positions
The vehicle has an electronic
keyless ignition with pushbutton
start.
Pressing the button cycles it through
three modes: ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, and Stopping the
Engine/OFF.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter must be in the vehicle for
the system to operate. If the
pushbutton start is not working, the
vehicle may be near a strong radio
antenna signal causing interference
