HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING FEATURES
TRANSMISSION FLUID
The Dual Clutch Transmission fluid and filter should be changed when\
indicated by the transmission fluid life system. A Change Transmission Fluid Soon messa\
ge will be dis-played on the Driver Information Center. Fluid and filter change inter\
vals are based on a combination of factors, including temperature and miles driven. Fluid sh\
ould be changed after every 24 hours of track use. Reset the transmission fluid life s\
ystem every time the fluid is changed. The transmission filter also must be changed a\
t the first oil change interval. Two extra liters of transmission fluid is recommended for tr\
ack use.
RUN-FLAT TIRES
The run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. The tire desig\
n enables safe
function during and after a loss of pressure for some distance at a mode\
rate speed. Driving only a short distance with a loss of pressure increases the chan\
ce that the tire can be repaired. Contact Roadside Assistance for the nearest run-flat \
tire servicing facility.
SUMMER TIRESF
Your vehicle may be equipped with high-performance summer tires, which h\
ave a special tread and compound that are optimized for maximum dry and wet road perfo\
rmance. The special tread and compound of the tires will have decreased performa\
nce in cold climates and on ice and snow.
Winter or all-season tires are recommended for the vehicle if driving at\
temperatures below approximately 40°F (5°C) or on ice- and snow-covered roads\
.
TIRE TEMPERATURE
The Tire Status page under the Performance menu on the Driver Information Center shows individual tire pressures and overall temperature as either Cold, Cool, Normal, Warm, or Hot. A Normal temperature is typical for normal driving and a Warm temperature is typical for aggressive driving.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates wh\
en one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fi\
ll the tires to the proper tire pressures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located belo\
w the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Informati\
on Center.
Note: Refer to your Owner’s Manual for information about normal monthly tire maintenance.
TIRE FILL ALERT
With the ignition On or in Accessory mode, the Tire Fill Alert will prov\
ide visual and audible alerts when inflating a tire. When the recommended tire pressu\
re is reached, the horn sounds and the turn signal changes from flashing to a solid light\
.
