5. Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the compact spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically and the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Telltale Light will turn OFF, as long as no
tire pressure is below the low-pressure
warning limit in any of the four active road
tires. The vehicle may need to be driven for
up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in
order for the TPMS to receive this informa-
tion.
Premium System — If EquippedThe TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel
rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire
pressure levels. Sensors, mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of your tires regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following compo-
nents:•Receiver Module
•Four Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors
•Three Trigger Modules (mounted in three of
the four wheel wells)
•Various Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Messages, which display in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
•Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light
Tire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure
Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
illuminate in the instrument cluster and an au-
dible chime will be activated when one or more
of the four active road tire pressures are low.
The audible chime will sound once every igni-
tion cycle for the first condition that it detects. In
addition, the EVIC will display a “LOW TIRE”
text message for a minimum of five seconds
and a graphic of the pressure value(s) with the
low tire(s) flashing.Should a low tire condition occur on any of the
four active road tire(s), you should stop as soon
as possible and inflate all tires that are flashing
on the graphic display to the vehicle’s recom-
mended cold placard pressure value. The sys-
tem will automatically update, the “LOW TIRE”
text message will no longer be displayed, the
graphic display of the pressure value(s) will stop
flashing, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Light
will extinguish once the updated tire pressure(s)
have been received.
Tire Pressure Monitoring Display

1. The compact spare tire does not have a tire
pressure monitoring sensor. Therefore, the
TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in the
compact spare tire.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place
of a road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
still turn ON due to the low tire. The “LOW
TIRE” text message and the graphic with the
low tire pressure flashing will be displayed.
3. However, after driving the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash
on and off for 75 seconds and then remain
on solid. In addition, the EVIC will display a
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure values.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a
chime will sound and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on and offfor 75 seconds and then remain on solid,
and the EVIC will display a “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message for a minimum of five
seconds and then display dashes (- -) in
place of the pressure values.

Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the
compact spare tire, the TPMS will update
automatically and the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will turn OFF, as long as no tire
pressure is below the low-pressure warning
limit in any of the four active road tires. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10
minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h) in order for
the TPMS to receive this information.
TPMS Deactivation — If EquippedThe TPMS can be deactivated if 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 and
the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” 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 flash the TPM telltale and
display the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
in the EVIC 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 TPM sensors. 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 sec-
onds and then turn off, and the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message. The
EVIC will also display pressure values in place
of the dashes. On the next ignition switch cycle
209
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message will no
longer be displayed as long as no system fault
exists.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
All gasoline engines are designed to meet all
emissions regulations and provide excellent
fuel economy and performance when using
high quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum
research octane rating (RON) of 91.Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you
experience these symptoms, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Besides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives are
recommended. Using gasolines that have these
additives may help improve fuel economy, re-
duce emissions, and maintain vehicle perfor-
mance.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you
experience these problems, try another brand
of gasoline before considering service for the
vehicle.
Methanol(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You mayfind fuels containing 3% or more methanol
along with other alcohols called cosolvents.
Problems that result from using methanol/
gasoline blends are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems and may damage
critical fuel system components.
EthanolThe manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 15% ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from a
reputable supplier may reduce the risk of ex-
ceeding this 15% limit and/or of receiving fuel
with abnormal properties. It should also be
noted that an increase in fuel consumption
should be expected when using ethanol-
blended fuels, due to the lower energy content
of ethanol. Problems that result from using

WARNING!
Improper towing can lead to an injury acci-
dent. Follow these guidelines to make your
trailer towing as safe as possible:
•Make certain that the load is secured in the
trailer and that it will not shift during travel.
When trailering cargo that is not fully se-
cured, dynamic load shifts can occur that
may be difficult for the driver to control. You
could lose control of your vehicle and have
an accident.
•All trailer hitches should be professionally
installed on your vehicle.
•When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do
not overload your vehicle or trailer. Over-
loading can cause a loss of control, poor
performance, or damage to brakes, axle,
engine, transmission, steering, suspen-
sion, chassis structure, or tires.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Safety chains must always be used be-
tween your vehicle and trailer. Always con-
nect the chains to the frame or hook re-
tainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the
chains under the trailer tongue and allow
enough slack for turning corners.
•Vehicles with trailers should not be parked
on a grade. When parking, apply the park-
ing brake on the tow vehicle. Always, block
or"chock"the trailer wheels.
•GCWR must not be exceeded.
•Total weight must be distributed be-
tween the tow vehicle and the trailer
such that the following four ratings are
not exceeded:
1. GVWR
2. GTW
3. GAWR
4. Tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch
utilized.Towing Requirements — Tires
•Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a
compact spare tire.
•Proper tire inflation pressures are essential
for the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. Refer to “Tires – General Informa-
tion” in “Starting and Operating” for proper
tire inflation procedures.
•Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation
pressures before trailer usage.
•Check for signs of tire wear or visible tire
damage before towing a trailer. Refer to
“Tires – General Information” in “Starting and
Operating” for the proper inspection
procedure.
•When replacing tires, refer to “Tires – Gen-
eral Information” in “Starting and Operating”
for proper tire replacement procedures. Re-
placing tires with a higher load carrying ca-
pacity will not increase the vehicle’s GVWR
and GAWR limits.
