RDS:Touch RDS to use alternate RDS functions located
in the preset menu. When you touch RDS, you will only
have about ve seconds to choose RDS ON/OFF, TA,
MSG, PTY, or SEL PTY. If you do not make a selection,
the system will return to the previous menu.
If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS
information, the station’s Program Service (PS) and
Program Type (PTY) will replace the station’s frequency
on the status line at the top of the display. After about
ve seconds, if available, the PTY will be replaced
on the display by the station’s PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name may be the same or different.
If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not
broadcasting RDS information, the station’s frequency
will remain on the display. While RDS is on, the
audio system will search for a stronger station in the
network if a station gets too weak for listening.
The RDS feature relies upon receiving specic
information from RDS stations. These features will only
work when RDS information is available.TA (Traffic):Touch TA to receive traffic
announcements. The audio system will turn on the TA
display. TA will appear on the display if the current station
broadcasts traffic announcements. You may also receive
traffic announcements from stations in the network
related to the current station. If the current station does
not broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system
will seek to a station which will. When the audio system
nds a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it
will stop. If no station is found, TA will turn off.
While a traffic announcement plays, the audio system
uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, touch the VOL
button on your steering wheel or use the VOL up or down
buttons during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance
Volume Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-7for
more information.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it even if
the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the audio
system tunes to a related network station for a traffic
announcement, it will return to the original station when
the announcement is nished. If the CD player was being
used, the CD will stay in the player and resume play at
the point where it stopped.
Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.

the preset station for less than two seconds. Then use
TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to locate a station for that
PTY selection.
ALERT:This type of announcement warns of national or
local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert
announcements. Alert announcements will come on even
if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the display
when an alert announcement plays. The audio system
uses TA volume during these announcements. To
increase volume, touch the VOL button on your steering
wheel or use the VOL up and down buttons during the
announcement. See “Voice Guidance Volume Settings”
underSetup Menu on page 4-7for more information.
When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it even if
the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the audio
system tunes to a related network station for an alert

A Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the
center pillar, below the driver’s door latch. This label
shows your vehicle’s original equipment tires and
the correct ination pressures for your tires when they
are cold. The recommended cold tire ination pressure,
shown on the label, is the minimum amount of air
pressure needed to support your vehicle’s maximum
load carrying capacity.
For additional information regarding how much weight
your vehicle can carry, and an example of the tire
and loading information label, seeLoading Your Vehicle
on page 5-30. How you load your vehicle affects
vehicle handling and ride comfort, never load your
vehicle with more weight than it was designed to carry.
When to Check
Check your tires once a month or more.
How to Check
Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. You cannot tell if your tires are properly inated
simply by looking at them. Radial tires may look properly
inated even when they are underinated. Check the
tire’s ination pressure when the tires are cold. Cold
means your vehicle has been sitting for at least three
hours or driven no more than 1 mile (1.6 km).Remove the valve cap from the tire valve stem. Press
the tire gage rmly onto the valve to get a pressure
measurement. If the cold tire ination pressure matches
the recommended pressure on the Tire and Loading
Information label, no further adjustment is necessary. If
the ination pressure is low, add air until you reach
the recommended amount.
If you overll the tire, release air by pushing on the
metal stem in the center of the tire valve. Recheck the
tire pressure with the tire gage.
Be sure to put the valve caps back on the valve stems.
They help prevent leaks by keeping out dirt and moisture.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
Your vehicle has a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) that
sends tire pressure information to the Driver Information
Center (DIC). Using the DIC control buttons, the
driver is able to check tire pressure levels in all four
road tires. SeeTire Pressure Monitor System on
page 6-55andDIC Controls and Displays on page 3-61
for additional information.
