Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly lo\
ses power,
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is overheat\
ing.
1.
Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn
off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning
lights.
2.
If steam or spray is not present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
If steam or spray is present: T

urn off the engine and
wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3.
Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop the engine once the tem\
perature
gauge needle goes down. If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately\
stop the
engine.
4.


o
nce the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the \
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve\
t

ank
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in t\
he
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator ca\
p with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
once the engine has cooled sufficiently

, restart it and check the temperature gauge.
If the temperature gauge needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has\
not gone
down, contact a dealer for repairs.
MAX
Reserve tank
MIN
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
WARNING
removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant t\
o
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may \
damage
the engine.
NOTICE
Emergency Engine Stop*
The eNGINe STArT/SToP button may be used to stop the engine due to an
emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, cho\
ose one of
the following operations:
•
Press and hold the eNGINe ST

A
rT/SToP button for
two seconds, or
•
Firmly press the eNGINe ST

A
rT/SToP button two
times.
The steering wheel will not lock. Because turning off the engine also di\
s

ables the
power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it\
will require
significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehi\
cle. Downshift
gears and use both feet on the brake pedal, if necessary, to slow the vehicle and
stop immediately in a safe place.
Do not press the button while driving unless it is absolutely necessary \
for the engine
to be switched off.
*if equipped
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious dama\
ge. The
bumpers are not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle\
can
damage the transmission.
NOTICE
Emergency Towing
Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.
Flat bed equipment: The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a tru\
ck. This is
the best way to transport your vehicle.
Wheel lift equipment: The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under\
the front
tires and lift them off the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground.\
This is an
acceptable way to tow your vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly
low, the low tire pressure indicator comes on and a
message appears on the multi-information display*.
What to Do
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire
pressure and adjust the pressure to the specified
level on the label on the driver’s doorjamb.
*if equipped
TPMS CalibrationAny time you inflate, change, or rotate one or more of the tires, you \
need to
recalibrate the system. The calibration process requires approximately 3\
0 minutes
of cumulative driving at speeds between 30–60 mph (48–97 km/h). \
The vehicle
must be stopped to begin calibration, and the process finishes automat\
ically.
Using the TPMS button*
Press and hold the TPMS button near the steering
wheel. The TPMS indicator blinks twice, and
calibration begins.
Using the Settings menu*
Use the selector knob or touchscreen to make and enter selections.
1.
Models with one display: Press the SeTTINGS
button. Select
vehicle Settings.
Models with touchscreen:

From the H
oMe
screen, select Settings. Select
vehicle.
2.
Select TPMS Calibration.
3.
Select Calibrate, and calibration begins.
Using the multi-information display*
Use the Info (p

/q) and S
eL/reSeT buttons on the steering wheel to make and
enter selections.

2.
Select TPMS Calibration.
3.
Select Calibrate, and calibration begins.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models
each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly\

when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the \
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure\

label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated \
on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine\
the
proper tire inflation 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
significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the\

proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to ove\
rheat and
can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficienc\
y 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 maintenanc\
e,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even
if underinflation 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 flash 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 abl\
e
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 altern\
ate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. A\
n overheated
tire can fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that\
you may
have about the vehicle.
Q:
