Blank Page
There is a blank page at the end of the OPTIONS menu.
When the blank page is displayed, you can access the
following items:
FOB TRAINING: This option allows you to match
the RKE transmitter(s) to your vehicle. You can access
this option by pressing and holding RESET for three
seconds while you are on the blank page at the end of
the OPTIONS menu. The message FOB TRAINING
will be displayed. See ªMatching Transmitter(s) To Your
Vehicleº in the Index for more information.
TIRE TRAINING: The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
operates with battery
-powered sensors that are located
inside the valve stems on each tire. Each sensor has a
unique ID code so the vehicle knows the tire location of
the sensor. When the vehicle reaches a speed of greater
than 15 mph (24 km/h), the sensors begin to send the
tire pressure readings to a receiver inside the vehicle.
These readings are displayed when using the GAGES
button on the DIC. If you are unable to display your tire
pressures while the vehicle speed is greater than 15 mph
(24 km/h), you may need to have your sensor ID codes
learned by the vehicle. See your dealer.
DIC Warnings and Messages
The following messages and warnings may appear in
the DIC display. The DIC display area is located in the
instrument panel cluster below the speedometer and
tachometer, directly above the steering column.
You may receive more than one message at a time.
Messages will appear one behind the other. To
acknowledge a message and remove it from the
display, press RESET. You may scroll through the
messages that may have been sent at the same time.
The message center is continuously updated with the
vehicle performance status.
ABS ACTIVE (Anti
-Lock Brake System Active):
When your anti
-lock system is adjusting brake pressure
to help avoid a braking skid, the ABS ACTIVE message
will be displayed.
Slippery road conditions may exist if this message
is displayed, so adjust your driving accordingly.
The message will stay on for a few seconds after the
system stops adjusting brake pressure.

ACTIVE HANDLING: Your vehicle is equipped with
an optional computer controlled system to assist the
driver in controlling the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions. You may feel or hear the system working
and see the ACTIVE HANDLING message displayed in
the DIC. This is normal when the system is operating.
Also see ªAnti
-Lock Brakesº in the Index.
LOW TIRE PRESSURE: You will hear two chimes
when this message is displayed. To acknowledge the
warning, press RESET. After you press RESET,
a message will reappear every 10 minutes until this
condition changes. This message indicates that the
pressure in one of your tires is less than 25 psi
(172 kPa). Next to the LOW TIRE PRESSURE
message, you can see either LF (left front), LR
(left rear), RF (right front) or RR (right rear) to indicate
to you which tire is low on pressure. You can receive
more than one tire pressure message at a time. To read
other messages that may have been sent at the same
time, press RESET. If a tire pressure message appears
on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the tire
pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See ªExtended
Mobility Tiresº in the Index.
CAUTION:
When the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT
TIRE message is displayed on the Driver
Information Center, your vehicle's handling
capabilities will be reduced during severe
maneuvers. If you drive too fast, you could lose
control of your vehicle. You or others could be
injured. Don't drive over 55 mph (90 km/h) when
the LOW TIRE PRESSURE or FLAT TIRE
message is displayed. Drive cautiously, and check
your tire pressures as soon as you can.

Adjust your driving accordingly. To acknowledge these
warnings, press RESET. After you press RESET,
a message will reappear every 10 minutes until this
condition changes. This message indicates that the
pressure in one of your tires is lower than 5 psi (34 kPa).
Next to the FLAT TIRE message, you can see either
LF (left front), LR (left rear), RF (right front) or
RR (right rear) to indicate to you which tire is flat.
You can receive more than one tire pressure message at
a time. To read other messages that may have been sent
at the same time, press RESET. If a tire pressure
message appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can.
Have the tire pressures checked and set to those shown
on your Tire Loading Information Label. See ªExtended
Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Inflationº in the Index.

HIGH TIRE PRESSURE - (LF, LR, RF, RR): Yo u
will hear two chimes when this message is displayed. To
acknowledge the warning, press RESET. After you press
RESET, a message will reappear every 10 minutes until
this condition changes. This message indicates that the
pressure in one of your tires is higher than 42 psi
(290 kPa). Next to the HIGH TIRE PRESSURE
message, you can see either LF (left front), LR (left
rear), RF (right front) or RR (right rear) to indicate to
you which tire is higher than 42 psi (290 kPa). You can
receive more than one tire pressure message at a time.
To read other messages that may have been sent at the
same time, press RESET. If a tire pressure message
appears on the DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the
tire pressures checked and set to those shown on your
Tire Loading Information Label. See ªExtended
Mobility Tiresº and ªTire Inflationº in the Index.SERVICE TIRE MON SYS: If this message
comes on, a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM)
is not working properly. If you drive your vehicle while
any of the four sensors are missing or inoperable, the
warning will come on in approximately 10 minutes.
If all four sensors are missing, the warning will come
on in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (All the sensors
would be missing, for example, if you put different
wheels on your vehicle without transferring the sensors.)
If the warning comes on and stays on, there may be a
problem with the TPM. See your dealer.
