emitting the same radio frequencies
as the TPMS 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
TPMS sensors.
The instrument cluster will also display
a "Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds when a system fault related to
an incorrect sensor location fault is
detected. In this case, the "Service Tire
Pressure System" message is then
followed by a graphic display with
pressure values still shown. This
indicates that the pressure values are
still being received from the TPMS
sensors but they may not be located in
the correct vehicle position. The system
still needs to be serviced as long as the
"Service Tire Pressure System" message
is displayed. Vehicles with Compact Spare Tire
• The compact spare tire does not have
a TPMS sensor. Therefore, the TPMS
will not monitor the pressure of the
compact spare tire.
• If you replace a tire having pressure
below the low-pressure warning
limit, with the compact spare tire, on
the next ignition switch cycle, the
TPMS light
will illuminate
followed by a beeping sound. In addition, the graphic in the
instrument cluster will still display a
flashing pressure value
corresponding to the compact tire
position.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the
TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (--)
in place of the pressure value.
• Each subsequent ignition switch cycle
will be followed by a beeping sound,
the TPMS light
will flash for 75
seconds and then remain lit. The
instrument cluster will then display a
"Service Tire Pressure System"
message for a minimum of five
seconds and subsequently displaysDriving

dashes (--) in place of the pressure
value.
• Once you repair, replace or reinstall
a tire with the compact spare tire,
the TPMS will update automatically.
The TPMS light
will turn OFF and
the graphic in the instrument cluster
will display a new pressure value
instead of dashes (--), as long as no
tire pressure is below the
low-pressure warning limit in any of
the four tires. The vehicle may need
to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to acquire and process the
updated information.
TPMS Deactivation The TPMS can be deactivated if
replacing all four tire rims with wheel
and tire assemblies not using of TPMS
sensors, such as winter wheel and tire assemblies. After replacing all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires)
with tires not equipped with Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensors,
drive the vehicle for 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will
chime, the TPMS light
will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then
remain on and the instrument cluster
will display the “Service Tire Pressure
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
Tire Pressure System” message in the
instrument cluster but 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 TPMS
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h). The TPMS will chime, the
TPMS light
will flash for 75 seconds
and then turn off. The instrument
cluster will then display the “Service
Tire Pressure System” message.
The instrument cluster will also display
pressure values in place of the dashes
(--). On the next ignition switch cycle
the “Service Tire Pressure System”
message will no longer be displayed as
long as no system fault exists.

Engine Oil Level Check
T
o assure proper lubrication of your
vehicle's engine, the engine oil must
be maintained at the correct level.
If the
warning light illuminates
and the related message of low oil
level displays, or during scheduled
services (see “Scheduled Maintenance
Service” in this section) it is necessary
to check the engine oil level.
The best time to check the engine oil
level is about five minutes after a fully
warmed up engine is shut off or
before starting the engine after it has
sat overnight. In both cases the vehicle
should be parked on level ground to
improve the accuracy of the oil level
readings. CAUTION!
• Do not top up with oil with different
characteristics than the engine one
(refer to “Refillings” in section
“Features and Specifications”).
• Overfilling or underfilling the oil pan
will cause aeration or loss of oil
pressure. This could damage your
engine.
• Do not add any supplemental
materials to the engine oil. Engine
oil is an engineered product, and its
performance may be impaired by
supplemental additives.
• Remove the inspection cover on the
right
engine bank (3.8
