to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (3–8 cm) from the HomeLinkt buttons while keeping the indicator in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the hand- held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the until the red HomeLinkt indicator changes from a slow to a rapid flash rate or the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.”
Then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held trans- mitter buttons. If the EVIC display states “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat Step 3. If the signal is too weak, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter. It may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may open & close while you train. NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace Step #3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section. 4. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLinkt button. If the channel has been trained, the EVIC display will now state “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.” If the EVIC display still states “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” repeat Step 3.
If the red HomeLinkt indicator blinks rapidly for two seconds and then remains constant, continue with the next section: “Programing A Rolling Code.” NOTE: After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt and the garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have a rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming A Rolling Code System.” 5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ABS aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydrau- lic brake pressure to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking. NOTE: ABS improves steering control of the vehicle during hard braking maneuvers.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 153
WARNING!
† ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. † ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM - ABS/TCS/BAS/ESP Your vehicle is equipped with the advanced electronic brake control system that includes Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem (ABS), Traction Control System (TCS) Brake Assist System (BAS), and Electronic Stability Program (ESP). All four systems work together to enhance vehicle stability and control in various driving conditions, and are com- monly referred to as ESP. Traction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressure is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS system functions similar to a limited slip differential and controls the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other, the system will apply the
brake of the spinning wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be applied to the wheel that is not spinning. Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes. This can help reduce braking distances. The BAS complements the anti-lock brake system (ABS). Applying the brakes very quickly results in the best BAS assistance. To receive the benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressure during the stopping sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.
WARNING!
† BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
† The BAS cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of a BAS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 155
ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition. Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path. ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition. † Oversteer - when the vehicle is turning more than † Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than

ESP/TCS Indicator Light The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” located in the instrument cluster, starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. The “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” also flashes when TCS is active. If the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
WARNING!
† Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. † ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. † The capabilities of an ESP-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
ESP Operating Modes The ESP system has 2 available operating modes. ESP ON This is the normal operating mode for ESP. Whenever the vehicle is started the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial ESP” for specific reasons as noted below.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 157
Traction Control Switch
PARTIAL ESP This mode is entered by momentarily depressing the “ESP OFF” button. When in “Partial ESP” mode, the TCS portion of ESP has been disabled, the thresholds for ESP activation are
158 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
raised, and the “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” will be illu- minated. This mode is intended to be used for a more spirited driving experience, or if the vehicle is in deep snow, sand, or gravel conditions and more wheel spin that ESP would normally allow is required.
To turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP OFF” button.
WARNING!
In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable.
NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial ESP” mode by pressing the “ESP OFF” button. Once the
situation requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial ESP” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by momen- tarily depressing the “ESP OFF” button. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. ESP/BAS Warning Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should both go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warn- ing Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or BAS system, or both. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE: † The “ESP Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS Warning Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. † Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System † The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; the sounds will stop when ESP becomes inactive following the maneuver that caused the ESP activation.

Do not place any article under the adjustable pedals or impede its ability to move as it may cause damage to the pedal controls. Pedal travel may become lim- ited if movement is stopped by an obstruction in the adjustable pedal’s path.
REAR PARK SENSE SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Rear Park Assist System provides visual and audible indications of the distance between the rear fascia and the detected obstacle when backing up. When backing up the driver should also use the inside rearview and outside mirrors. The Rear Park Assist System will remember the last system state (enabled or disabled) from the last ignition cycle when the ignition is changed to the RUN/ON position.
The Rear Park Assist System can be active only when the transaxle shift lever is in R (Reverse). If the Rear Park Assist System is enabled at this shift position, the system will be active until the vehicle speed is increased to approximately 11 mph (18 km/h) or above. The system will be active again if the vehicle speed is decreased to speeds less than approximately 10 mph (16 km/h). Rear Park Assist Sensors The four Rear Park Assist Sensors, located in the rear fascia, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The monitored area seems oval in shape. The sensors can detect obstacles from approxi- mately 11.8 inches (30 cm) up to 59 inches (150 cm) from the rear fascia in the horizontal direction, depending on the location and orientation of the obstacle and the type of obstacle.

To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
† Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
178 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
† Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to sway. † Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the seatback. This could impair visibility or become a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.
WARNING!
To help protect against personal injury, passengers should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry the weight on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.
Roof Rack
Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars. The roof rack does not increase the total load carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity. To move the cross bars, press the upper edge of each cross bar button, then move the cross bar to the desired position, keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame. This is can be done with one person standing on each side of the vehicle, moving the cross bar at the same time.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 179
Attempt to move the crossbar again to ensure that it has properly locked into position. NOTE: To reduce the amount of wind noise when the cross bars are not in use, move both cross bars next to each other towards the rear of the vehicle in the rear most position. The tie down holes on the cross bar ends should always be used to tie down the load. Check the straps frequently to be sure that the load remains securely attached.
180 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION!
WARNING!
† Crossbars should remain equally spaced or parallel at any luggage rack position for proper function. Noncompliance could result in damage to the lug- gage rack, cargo and/or vehicle. † To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150
lbs (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure the load appropriately. † Long loads which extend over the windshield, such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal area should be secured to both the front and rear of the vehicle. † Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift to loads. This is especially true on large flat loads and may result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.Cargo must be securely tied before driving your ve- hicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal in- jury or property damage. Follow the Roof Rack Cau- tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.
LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM The automatic load leveling system will provide a level riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading conditions. A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling to complete depending on road surface conditions. If the leveled vehicle is not moved for approximately 15
hours, the leveling system will bleed itself down. The vehicle must be driven to reset the system.UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”, pull over in a safe area as soon as possible and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air condi- tioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call for service.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS
1. Voltage Light
This light monitors the electrical system voltage. The light should turn on momentarily as the engine is started. If the light stays on or turns on while driving, it indicates a problem with the charging system. Immediate service should be obtained. 2. Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tempera- ture. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera- ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.

WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call a service center if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see Section 7 of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure Cap paragraph.
3. Fuel Gauge The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON position.
The Low Fuel Light will turn on when the fuel level reaches approximately 2 to 4 gallons (7 to 15 liters) this light will remain on until fuel is added.
4. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when the turn signal lever is operated.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has traveled about one mile with the turn signals on, a chime will sound to alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. 5. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. 6. Anti-Lock Brake Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system
is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the Ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. 7. Brake System Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, there is a low brake fluid level or there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system. The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. Failure of either half of the dual brake system is
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189
indicated by the Brake Warning Light which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers which change fluid level condi- tions. The vehicle should have service performed. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the brake light on is danger- ous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
190 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Vehicles equipped with Anti-Lock brakes (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. The operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approxi- mately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
8. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light
If this indicator light flashes during accelera- tion, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road con-
ditions, and do not switch off the ESP, or TCS. NOTE: Extended heavy use of Traction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the Traction Control Light. This is to prevent overheating of the brake system and is a normal condition. The system will remain disabled for about 4 minutes until the brakes have cooled. The system will automatically reactivate and turn off the Traction Control Light.
9. Tachometer The red segments indicate the maximum permissible engine revolutions-per-minute (rpm. x 1000) for each gear range. Before reaching the red area, ease up on the accelerator. 10. Trip Odometer Button Press this button to change the display from odometer to either of the two trip odometer settings. The word TRIP and either “A” or “B” will appear when in the trip odometer mode. Push in and hold the button for two seconds to reset the trip odometer to 0 miles or kilome- ters. The odometer must be in trip mode to reset. 11. Transmission Range Indicator This display indicator shows the automatic transmission gear selection. 12. AutoStick Light This display indicator illuminates when the gearshift lever is moved to the AutoStick position.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 191
13. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage. To switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and release the Trip Odometer button. To reset a trip odom- eter, display the desired trip odometer to be reset then push and hold the button until the display resets (ap- proximately 2 seconds). Vehicle Warning Messages When the appropriate conditions exist, vehicle warning messages will display in the odometer.
192 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
If the instrument cluster is equipped with the NOTE: optional Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), then all warnings will only display in the EVIC. (Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in this section for specific messages). gASCAP If the vehicle diagnostic system detects a leak or change in the evaporative system, or the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, the words “gASCAP” will display in the odometer. If this occurs, tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the odometer reset button to turn off the “gASCAP” message. (Refer to “Onboard Diagnostic System — OBDII” in Section 7 of this manual for more information). If the problem con- tinues, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. See your authorized dealer service center as soon as possible.
Change Oil Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “Change Oil” message will flash in the instrument cluster odometer for approximately 12
seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance) perform the following proce- dure:1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position (Do not start the engine).
2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position.
If the indicator message illuminates when you NOTE: start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure. 14. Cruise Indicator
This indicator shows that the Speed Control System is ON.
15. Malfunction Indicator Light
This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system called OBD that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light will illu- minate when the key is in the ON position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 193
Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc. may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. The Malfunction Indicator Light flashes to alert you to serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs. 16. High Beam Light
This light shows that the headlights are on high beam. Pull the Multi-Function lever towards the steering wheel to switch the headlights from high or low beam.
194 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
17. Navigation Screen/Rear View Camera — If Equipped The navigation system provides maps, turn identifica- tion, selection menus and instructions for selecting a variety of destinations and routes. Refer to your “Navi- gation User’s Manual” for detailed operating instruc- tions. The Rear View Camera system uses the Navigator Screen to display the area behind the vehicle. Camera view will display only while the vehicle is in R (Reverse). 18. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped
This light shows the front fog lights are ON.
19. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light shows low engine oil pressure. The light should turn on momentarily when the engine is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the
vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A continuous chime will sound when this light turns on. Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This light does not show how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the hood. 20. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this light will turn on for 5 to 8 seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to 9Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Re- minder System (BeltAlert™)9 in the Occupant Restraints section for more information.
21. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Lamp
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 tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires are significantly under-inflated. Ac- cordingly, 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 under-inflated tire causes the tire to over- heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 195
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. NOTE: Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsi- bility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underin- flation 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 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 subse- quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem 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
196 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. NOTE: 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.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels (the spare is not moni- tored or equipped with a sensor). TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use aftermarket tire sealants or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
For additional information on TPMS, refer to Section 5 — Starting and Operating, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys- tem” of this manual.
For additional information on Tire Pressures, refer to Section 5 — Starting and Operating, “Tire Inflation Pressures” of this manual. 22. Airbag Light
This light turns on and remains on for 6 to 8
seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 23. Electronic Vehicle Information Center Display — If Equipped When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) messages. 24. Engine Temperature Warning LightThis light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. If this light is accompanied by a continuous
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 197
chime, the engine temperature is critically hot, and the vehicle should be turned off immediately. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. 25. Liftgate Ajar — If Equipped

198 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
28. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warning Light/Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Light — If Equipped
The malfunction lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS. The yellow “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They should go out with the engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your autho- rized dealer as soon as possible. 29. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC.) Light
This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If a prob- lem is detected the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when
the vehicle has completely stopped and the gear selector is placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, see your dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is re- quired and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 30. All-Wheel-Drive Failure Indicator Light — If AWD equipped
light monitors
