Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving. If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes
signi cantly low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a message appears on
the display. Available on U.S. models only.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to the speci ed
level on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
TPMS Calibration
Any time you in ate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you need to recalibrate the system.
The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes of cumulative driving at
speeds between 30–65 mph (48–105 km/h). The vehicle must be stopped to begin
calibration, and the process nishes automatically.
Models with TPMS button
Press and hold the TPMS button until the low tire pressure indicator blinks twice, indicating the calibration process has begun.
Models with color audio system and Driver Information Interface
Use the steering wheel buttons to make and enter selections in the Driver Information Interface (see page 29).
1. Scroll to the Vehicle Settings screen, and select it.
2. Select TPMS Calibration.

Low tire pressure/ TPMS indicator
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and in ated to the in ation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire in ation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire in ation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire in ation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is signi cantly underin ated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and in ate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signi cantly underin ated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underin ation also reduces fuel ef ciency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. 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 underin ation 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 combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will ash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. 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 malfunction 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.
Driving on an extremely underin ated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always in ate your tires to the speci ed pressure.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and properly in ated.
Inflation Guidelines
• Properly in ated tires provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and
comfort. Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the speci cations (see page 147) for the speci ed pressure.
• Underin ated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy,
and are more likely to fail from overheating.
• Overin ated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards,
and wear unevenly.
• Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the
others, check the pressure with a tire gauge.
• Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been
parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the speci ed pressure is reached, and then calibrate the system
(see page 118). If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4–6 psi (30–40 kPa, 0.3–0.5 kgf/cm 2
) higher than checked when cold.
• At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in
all tires, including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1–2 psi (10–20 kPa, 0.1–0.2 kgf/cm 2
) per month.
Inspection Guidelines
Every time you in ate the tires, check for the following: • Any damage to tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side or
tread. Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.
• Uneven or excessive tread wear. Have a dealer check the wheel alignment.
• Cracks or other damage around the valve stems.
Wear Indicators
The groove where the wear indicator is located is 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread has worn so low that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire. Worn out tires have poor
traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear indicator mark
Tire and Loading Information Label
The label attached to the driver’s doorjamb provides necessary tire and loading information.
Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace your tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a
different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s speci cations match those of the original wheels. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly in ated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire in ation and maintenance
.
WARNING

Testing of Readiness Codes
Your vehicle has “readiness codes” as part of the onboard self-diagnostic system. Some
states refer to these codes as a test to see if your vehicle’s emissions components are
working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the vehicle on without starting the engine. The malfunction
indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks ve times, the readiness codes are not set. If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are set, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:
1. Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full.
2. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more.
3. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (4°C and 35°C).4. Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 seconds.
5. Keep the vehicle in Park (P) or Neutral for manual transmission. Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes.
6. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
7. Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway with
the vehicle in Drive (D) or 5th gear. Do not use cruise control. When traf c allows,
drive for 90 seconds without using the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary
slightly; this is OK.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of
traf c conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat two more times (for a total of 90 seconds).
8. Drive in city/suburban traf c for at least 10 minutes. When traf c conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal.
9. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
The readiness codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be
requested to return at a later date to complete the test, or see your dealer.SPECIFICATIONS 1.5-L engine models
