Caution!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures 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.
Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an authorized dealership to have your
sensor function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the TPMS sensor.
INSUFFICIENT TIRE PRESSURE
INDICATION
If an insufficient pressure value is
detected on one or more tires, the
warning light in the instrument
cluster will display alongside the
dedicated messages, the system will
highlight the tire or tires with insufficient
pressure graphically, and an acoustic
signal will be emitted. In this case, stop the car, check the
inflation pressure of each tire, and
inflate the necessary tire or tires to the
correct cold inflation pressure value,
shown on the display or in the
dedicated TPMS menu.
TPMS TEMPORARILY DISABLED
TPMS Check Message
When a system fault is detected, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”
will flash on and off for 75 seconds, and
then remain on solid. The system fault
will also sound a chime. If the ignition is
cycled, this sequence will repeat,
provided that the system fault still
exists. The “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light” will turn off when the fault
condition no longer exists. A system
fault can occur due to any of the
following:
Jamming due to electronic devices
or driving next to facilities emitting the
same radio frequencies as the TPMS
sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket
window tinting that affects radio wave
signals.
Lots of snow or ice around the
wheels or wheel housings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with
TPMS sensors. After the punctured tire has been
repaired with the original tire sealant
contained in the TireKit, the previous
condition must be restored so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
TPMS Deactivation
The TPMS can be deactivated by
replacing all four wheel and tire
assemblies (road tires) with wheel and
tire assemblies that do not have TPMS
Sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your
vehicle.
To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road
tires) with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring (TPM) Sensors.
Then, drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS
will chime, the "TPM Telltale Light" will
flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on. The instrument cluster
will display the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure
values.
Beginning with the next ignition switch
cycle, the TPMS will no longer chime or
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM”
message in the instrument cluster.
Instead, dashes (--) will remain in place
of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires equipped with TPM sensors.
107

Then, drive the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h).
The TPMS will chime, the "TPM Telltale
Light" will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then turn off. The
instrument cluster will display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
and then display pressure values in
place of the dashes. On the next
ignition switch cycle the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer be
displayed, as long as no system fault
exists.
Note:
The TPMS is not intended to
replace normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a
tire pressure gauge while adjusting
your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire will cause the tire to
overheat, and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’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 gauge, even if underinflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”.
Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.

OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the restraint
systems:
Occupant Restraint
Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described
in this section may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be
optional equipment on others. If you are
not sure, ask your authorized dealer.
Important Safety
Precautions
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm from a
deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
108
SAFETY

The first stage inflator is triggered
immediately during an impact that
requires air bag deployment. A low
energy output is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output is
used for more severe collisions.
This vehicle may be equipped with a
driver and/or front passenger seat belt
buckle switch that detects whether the
driver or front passenger seat belt is
buckled. The seat belt buckle switch
may adjust the inflation rate of the
Advanced Front Air Bags.
This vehicle may be equipped with
driver and/or front passenger seat track
position sensors that may adjust the
inflation rate of the Advanced Front Air
Bags based upon seat position.
Warning!
No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air
bag to inflate.
Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them
manually. You may damage the air bags
and you could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag cushions
are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, air bags
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat
belts even though you have air bags.
Front Air Bag Operation
Front Air Bags are designed to provide
additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts. Front air bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in
rear, side, or rollover collisions. The front
air bags will not deploy in all frontal
collisions, including some that may
produce substantial vehicle damage —
for example, some pole collisions, truck
underrides, and angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the
type and location of impact, front air
bags may deploy in crashes with little
vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
Because air bag sensors measure
vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle
speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not
an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your
protection in all collisions, and also are
needed to help keep you in position,
away from an inflating air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision
requiring the front air bags, it signals the
inflator units. A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the
front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and
the upper right side of the instrument
panel separate and fold out of the way
as the air bags inflate to their full size.
The front air bags fully inflate in less
time than it takes to blink your eyes.
The front air bags then quickly deflate
while helping to restrain the driver and
front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect
the knees of the driver and front
passenger, and position the front
occupants for improved interaction with
the front air bags.
Warning!
Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way.
Do not mount any accessories to the
knee impact bolsters such as alarm lights,
stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver And Front
Passenger Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
mounted in the instrument panel below
the steering column and a Supplemental

obstacle is detected, an acoustic alert
will sound and, if equipped, visual
indications will be displayed on the
instrument cluster.
Engagement/Disengagement
To turn the system off, push the
ParkSense switch located to the left of
the headlight switch. The indicator light
within the switch will light up when the
system is turned off. Pushing the switch
a second time will turn the system back
on, and the indicator light will turn off.The indicator light within the ParkSense
switch will also be on in case of system
failure. If the switch is pushed with a
system failure, the indicator light will
flash for approximately five seconds.
The light will then stay on constantly.
System Activation/Deactivation
The system, when engaged, is
automatically activated by engaging the
REVERSE gear. It is deactivated by
engaging another gear.
Acoustic Signal
When REVERSE is engaged and there
is an obstacle behind the vehicle, an
acoustic signal with variable frequency
will sound.
The acoustic signal increases in
frequency as the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle decreases.
The acoustic signal becomes
continuous when the distance between

dealer.
Useful Advice For
Extending The Life Of
Your Battery
To avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
When you park the car, ensure that
the doors and trunk are closed properly
to prevent any lights from remaining on
inside the passenger's compartment.
Do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running.
Before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If you wish to install electrical
accessories after purchasing the car
that require permanent electrical supply
(e.g. alarm, etc.), or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact your authorized
dealer, whose qualified staff will
evaluate the overall electrical
consumption.
Caution!
If the charge level remains under 50% for a
long time, the battery may be damaged by
sulphation, reducing its capacity and
efficiency at start the vehicle. The battery
is also more prone to the risk of freezing
at temperatures as high as 14°F (-10°C).
Note:
After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialized. The
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn the
steering wheel all the way from one end
to the other, and then turn it back to the
central position.

INDEX

INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained person-
nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made directly
to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible.
The negative power connection should be made to body
sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection.
This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the
roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used
in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may
affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on
vehicles so equipped.The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).
Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible interfer-
ence between the communications equipment and the
vehicle’s electronic systems.
