position before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the ignition switch from OFF
to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas
cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light
after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if
the light stays on through several typical driving
styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to
alert serious conditions that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic
converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer as soon as possible if this
occurs.
Service Warning Light — If Equipped
The “Maintenance Plan” includes vehicle
maintenance at fixed intervals. For
further information Ú page 235. This
message is displayed automatically
along with the warning light when the key is turned
to RUN - 1,242 miles (2,000 km) or 30 days before
these deadlines, and reappears every time the key
is turned to RUN. The indication will appear in
miles or kilometers according to the "Unit Of
Measurement" settings. When the next scheduled
service is approaching and the key is turned to
RUN, the word “Service” will appear on the display,
followed by the number of miles or kilometers left.
Contact an authorized dealership. The operations
in the “Maintenance Plan” will be performed and
the message will be reset.
Service Stop / Start System Warning
Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate when the
Stop/Start system is not functioning
properly and service is required. Contact
an authorized dealer for service.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Warning Light
The warning light switches on and a
message is displayed to indicate that the
tire pressure is lower than the
recommended value and/or that slow
pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal
tire duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition
mentioned above, the display will show the
indications corresponding to each tire.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as refer -
enced above, can reach higher temperatures
than in normal operating conditions. This can
cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over flam -
mable substances such as dry plants, wood,
cardboard, etc. This could result in death or seri -
ous injury to the driver, occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the vehi -
cle control system. It also could affect fuel econ -
omy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,
severe catalytic converter damage and power
loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.
CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat
tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the
vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a
tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using
the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 74

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL75
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 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
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation
also reduces fuel efficiency 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 maintenance, 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 able 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 alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
Transmission Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that the transmission
fluid temperature is running hot. This
may occur with severe usage, such as
trailer towing. If this light turns on, safely
pull over and stop the vehicle. Then, shift the
transmission into PARK and run the engine at idle
or slightly higher until the light turns off.
CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system
operation or sensor damage may result when
using replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels
can cause sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire
sealants may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) sensor to become inoperable.
After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is recom -
mended that you take your vehicle to an autho -
rized dealer to have your sensor function checked.

WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the
Transmission Temperature Warning Light is
illuminated you could cause the fluid to boil over,
come in contact with hot engine or exhaust
components and cause a fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission damage
or transmission failure.

Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve
Entering or exiting a large curve, the system could
detect the presence of a vehicle that is in front of
the car, but that does not preside in the same lane.
In cases such as this, the system might respond.

Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve

Small Vehicles And/Or Not Aligned To The Lane
The system is not able to detect the presence of
vehicles that are in front of the car but placed
outside the field of action of the radar sensor and
could therefore not react in the presence of small
vehicles such as bicycles or motorcycles.
Small Vehicles And/Or Not Aligned To The Lane

Lane Changing Of Other Vehicles
Vehicles that suddenly change lanes, while
standing in the traffic lane of their car and inside
the field of action of the radar sensor may cause
the intervention of the system.

Lane Changing Of Other Vehicles
Passing Of Vehicles In An Oncoming Intersection
The system could temporarily react to a vehicle
that crossed the range of the radar sensor, in an
oncoming intersection.

Passing Of Vehicles In An Oncoming Intersection

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) will
warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the
vehicle recommended cold tire pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by
about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12° F (6.5° C). This
means that when the outside temperature
decreases, the tire pressure will 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
6

22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 185

186SAFETY
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. The tire pressure will also increase as the
vehicle is driven, this is normal and there should be
no adjustment for this increased pressure.
See Ú page 269 on how to properly inflate the
vehicle's tires.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
if the tire pressure falls below the low pressure
warning limit for any reason, including low
temperature effects, or natural pressure loss
through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of low
tire pressure as long as the condition exists, and
will not turn off until the tire pressure is at or above
the recommended cold tire pressure on the
placard. Once the low tire pressure warning (Tire
Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light)
illuminates, you must increase the tire pressure to
the recommended cold tire pressure in order for
the Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
to turn off. The system will automatically update
and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System 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. For example, your vehicle may have a
recommended cold (parked for more than three
hours) tire pressure of 30 psi (207 kPa). If the
ambient temperature is 68° F (20° C) and the
measured tire pressure is 27 psi (186 kPa), a
temperature drop to 20° F (-7° C) will decrease
the tire pressure to approximately 23 psi
(159 kPa). This tire pressure is sufficiently low
enough to turn on the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light. Driving the vehicle may
cause the tire pressure to rise to approximately
27 psi (186 kPa), but the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light will still be on. In this
situation, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Warning Light will turn off only after the tires are
inflated to the vehicle’s recommended cold tire
pressure value Ú
page 297.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warnings have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesir -
able system operation or sensor damage may
result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor
damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After
using an aftermarket tire sealant it is recom -
mended that you take your vehicle to an
authorized dealership to have your sensor
function checked.
After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure,
always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will
prevent moisture and dirt from entering the
valve stem, which could damage the Tire Pres -
sure Monitoring System sensor.

22_FD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 186

SAFETY187
NOTE:
The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire
care and maintenance, or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure
gauge while adjusting your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel effi -
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility
to maintain correct tire pressure using an accu -
rate tire gauge, even if underinflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light.
Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire
pressure, and the TPMS will monitor the actual
tire pressure in the tire.
Base System
This is the TPMS Warning Light located in
the instrument cluster.
The 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 the tires on your vehicle regularly
and to maintain the proper pressure.
The TPMS consists of the following components:
Receiver module.
Four Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LOW
PRESSURE WARNINGS
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will illuminate in the instrument cluster, an
acoustic signal will be activated, and the “Check
left or right front/rear tire” text message will
display when one or more of the four active road
tire pressures are low. Should this occur, you
should stop as soon as possible, check the
inflation pressure of each tire on your vehicle, and
inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recommended
cold placard pressure value. The system will
automatically update and the Tire Pressure
Monitoring Warning Light will extinguish once the
updated tire pressures have been received. The
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h) to receive this
information.
CHECK TPMS WARNINGS
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on
solid when a system fault is detected, an audible
chime will be activated and the “Service Tire
Pressure Monitoring System” text message will
display. If the ignition is cycled, this sequence will
repeat providing the system fault still exists. The
Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light will
turn off when the fault condition no longer exists. A
system fault can occur with any of the following
scenarios:
Jamming due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio
frequencies as the TPMS sensors.
Installing some form of aftermarket window
tinting that affects radio wave signals.
Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel hous
-
ings.
Using tire chains on the vehicle.
Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS
sensors.
NOTE:Your vehicle may be equipped with a compact
spare wheel and tire assembly.
The compact spare tire does not have a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System sensor. Therefore,
the TPMS will not monitor the tire pressure in
the compact spare tire.
