Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. The system fault will also sound a
chime. In addition, the instrument cluster
will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message will no longer display, and a
pressure value will display in place of the
dashes. A system fault can occur due to any
of the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic de-
vices or driving next to facilities emitting
the same radio frequencies as the TPM
sensors.
• Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio
wave signals.
• Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
A system fault may occur due to an incorrect
TPM sensor location condition. When a sys-
tem fault occurs due to an incorrect TPM
sensor location, the “Tire Pressure Monitor- ing Telltale Light” will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. The
system fault will also sound a chime. In
addition, the instrument cluster will display a
“Tire Pressure Temporarily Unavailable”
message in place of the tire pressure display
screen. If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the system
fault still exists. If the system fault no longer
exists, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will no longer flash and the tire pres-
sure display screen will be displayed showing
the tire pressure values the correct locations.
Vehicles With Non Matching Full Size Spare Or
Compact Spare
• The non matching full size spare or com-
pact spare tire does not have a TPM sensor.
Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the
pressure in the non matching full size spare
or compact spare tire.
• If you install the non matching full size spare or compact spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPM Telltale
Light and a “LOW TIRE” message will re-
main ON and a chime will sound. In addi-

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 autho-
rized 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.
2. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-facing child restraint) must ride in
the front passenger seat, move the seat as
far back as possible and use the proper
child restraint (refer to “Child Restraints”
in this section for further information).
3. Children that are not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (refer to
“Child Restraints” in this section for fur-
ther information) should be secured in a
vehicle with a rear seat in child restraints
or belt-positioning booster seats. Older
children who do not use child restraints or
belt-positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in a vehicle with a
rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
