WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
51

•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect orsignal 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 pre-
vent 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 .
NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change.Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the
Winter .Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is
32°F (0°C), then the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa),
which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
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 .Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the
parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates
a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake
System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately .
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle .You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately .
- 12 Volt Charging System Light
•This light shows the status of the 12 Volt electrical charging system .If the charging system light
remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system .
•We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the
vehicle serviced immediately .

front driver’s seat.
• Small punctures up to 1/4 in (6 mm) in the tire tread can be sealed with TIREFIT .Foreign
objects (e .g., screws or nails) should not be removed from the tire .TIREFIT can be used
in outside temperatures down to approximately -4°F (-20°C) .
• This kit will provide a temporary tire seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle up to
100 miles (160 km) with a maximum speed of 55 mph (88 km/h).
TIREFIT Storage
• The TIREFIT kit is located in the rear cargo area.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURE — 12 VOLT BATTERY
•If your vehicle has a discharged 12 Volt battery, it can be jump-started using a set of
jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster
pack .Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures
in this section carefully .
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the manufacturer’s operating
instructions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located in the underhood compartment under the beauty
cover .
1. Set the parking brake, place the transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to
OFF/LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF .
Jump-Starting Procedure
1.Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the dis-
charged vehicle .
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+)post of
the booster battery .
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery .
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable to a good ground (exposed
metal part of the discharged vehicle) away from the battery and the high voltage cables.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the the vehicle with the discharged battery .
• Once the vehicle has started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper cable from the ground (-)of the vehicle with the
discharged battery .
2. Disconnect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable from the negative (-)post of the

MANUAL PARK RELEASE
WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake, before activating the
Manual Park Release.Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll
away if it is not secured by the parking brake or other means. Activating the Manual Park
Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or
around the vehicle .
• In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK
(such as a dead battery), a Manual Park Release is available .Ifadead12voltbatteryis
the cause of the condition refer to “Jump Start Procedure — 12 Volt Battery” before
performing the Manual Park Release .
• To perform the Manual Park Release follow these steps:
1. To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake .
2.
If possible, raise the front driver's side of the vehicle to provide access to the transmission .
3.Working from underneath the vehicle, remove the black rubber plug from the front of
the Park module (a black canister mounted on the front of the transmission).
4. Using a T25 driver bit, rotate the Manual Park Release shaft (located just behind the
rubber plug) clockwise, at least 20 turns, to release the Park mechanism. The vehicle is
now out of PARK and can be moved.
5. Reinstall the rubber plug.
6. Release the parking brake only when a
driver is in the vehicle, or the vehicle is
secured by other means. The Manual Park
Release will be reset automatically once
the vehicle is restarted.

ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network andpower remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine
whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Disable the high voltage battery .
• Place the transmission into PARK.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or
until the ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically .
•
In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in NEUTRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional .To place the transmission into NEUTRAL you must
turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle the ignition) then press the
NEUTRAL button .
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized studio .
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pressing
the accelerator .Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Press the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial
Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle .Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Starting And
Operating” for further information. Once the vehicle has been freed, press the “ESC Off ”
switch again to restore “ESC On” mode .
CAUTION!
•When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not
spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
• Spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure .It can
also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear .
