ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM
Operation
The OBD (Onboard Diagnostic system)
carries out a continuous diagnosis of the
components of the vehicle related to
emissions.
It also alerts the driver of when these
components are no longer in peak
condition by switching on the
warning
light on the instrument panel (see
“Warning Lights And Messages”
paragraph in this chapter).
The aim of the OBD system (Onboard
Diagnostic) is to:
Monitor the efficiency of the system
Indicate an increase in emissions
Indicate the need to replace damaged
components
The vehicle also has a connector, which
can interface with appropriate tools, that
makes it possible to read the error codes
stored in the electronic control units
together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis. This check can be carried out
by your authorized dealer.
Note: After eliminating a fault, to check
the system completely, your authorized
dealer is obliged to run tests and, if
necessary certain road tests.
Onboard Diagnostic System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an
Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD II) and
a connection port to allow access to
information related to the performance
of your emissions controls. Authorized
service technicians may need to access
this information to assist with the
diagnosis and service of your vehicle and
emissions system.
Warning!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to diagnose or
service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected to
the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, could be
impaired or a loss of vehicle control could
occur that may result in an accident
involving serious injury or death.
Access, or allow others to access,
information stored in your vehicle systems,
including personal information.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal
requirement to pass an inspection of your
vehicle's emissions control system.
Failure to pass could prevent vehicle
registration.
For states that require
an Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M), this
check verifies the
“Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not on
when the engine is running, and that the
OBD II system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready.
The OBD II system may notbe ready if
your vehicle was recently serviced,
recently had a dead battery or a battery
replacement. If the OBD II system should
be determined not ready for the I/M test,
your vehicle may fail the test.
Your vehicle has a simple ignition
actuated test, which you can use prior to
going to the test station. To check if your
vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you
must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON
position, but do not crank or start the
engine.
Note: If you crank or start the engine,
you will have to start this test over.
101

The system has been designed for road
use only. If the vehicle is driven on a track,
the system must be deactivated to avoid
unnecessary warnings. Automatic
deactivation is signaled by the dedicated
warning light/symbol switching on in the
instrument panel (refer to the instructions in
the "Warning Lights And Messages On The
Instrument Panel" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel" for further information).
General Information
This vehicle has systems that operate on
radio frequency that comply with Part
15 of the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) rules and with
Industry Canada Standards RSS-
GEN/210/220/310.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. The device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. The device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to any of these
systems by other than an authorized
service facility could void authorization
to use this equipment.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that
sends the inflation pressure information
of each tire to the control unit, and will
signal the driver in the event of
insufficient tire pressure.
Tire pressure will vary with temperature
by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every
12°F (6.5°C). This means that when the
outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will also decrease. Tire pressure
should always be set based on cold
inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not
been driven for at least three hours, or
driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km) after a
three hour period. The cold tire inflation
pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire
sidewall. Refer to “Tires” in “Servicing
And Maintenance” for information on
how to properly inflate the vehicle’s tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the
vehicle is driven. This is normal, and there
should be no adjustment for this
increased pressure.
The TPMS will signal the driver if
pressure falls below the warning limit for
any reason, including the effects of low
temperature and normal loss of pressure
from the tire.
The TPMS will stop indicating insufficient
tire pressure when pressure is equal to or
greater than the prescribed cold inflation level. Therefore, if insufficient tire
pressure is indicated by the (
) warning
light displaying in the instrument cluster,
increase the inflation pressure up to the
prescribed cold inflation value.
The system will automatically update,
and the “Tire Pressure Monitoring
Warning Light” will turn off once the
system receives the updated tire
pressures. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS
to receive this information.
Operating Example
For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more than
three hours) placard pressure of 33 psi
(227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is
68°F (20°C), and the measured tire
pressure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a
temperature drop to 20°F (-7°C) will
decrease the tire pressure to
approximately 24 psi (165 kPa). This tire
pressure is low enough to turn on the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Warning Light.”
Driving the vehicle may cause the tire
pressure to rise to approximately 28 psi
(193 kPa), but the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will still be on.
In this situation, the “Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light” will turn off
only after the tires are inflated to the
vehicle’s recommended cold placard
pressure value.

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
Passenger Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the glove
compartment. The Supplemental Knee
Air Bags provide enhanced protection
during a frontal impact by working
together with the seat belts,
pretensioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SABs)
This vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SABs).
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SABs) are located in the outboard
side of the front seats. The SABs are
marked with “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” on a label or on the seat trim on the
outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk of
occupant injury during certain side
impacts, in addition to the injury
reduction potential provided by the seat
belts and body structure.
When the SAB deploys, it opens the seam
on the outboard side of the seatback’s
trim cover. The inflating SAB deploys
through the seat seam into the space
between the occupant and the door. The
SAB moves at a very high speed and with
such a high force that it could injure
occupants if they are not seated
properly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the SAB inflates. Children are
at an even greater risk of injury from a
deploying air bag.
Warning!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air Bags;
the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed into
you, causing serious injury.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs)
This vehicle is equipped with
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs).
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs) are located above the
side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG.”
