WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
56

Partial Off
This mode is entered by momentarily pressing the ESC Off switch.This mode is intended
for times when a more spirited driving experience is desired.It is also intended for driv-
ing in deep snow, sand or gravel conditions, when more wheel spin than ESC would nor-
mally allow is required to gain traction.To turn ESC on again, momentarily press the
switch again.This will restore the normal ESC On mode of operation.
Full Off
This mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only and should not be used on
public roadways.In this mode, all TCS and ESC stability features are turned OFF, except
for the limited slip feature described in the TCS section.To enter the “Full Off ” mode,
depress and hold the ESC OFF switch for five seconds.After five seconds, the ESC OFF
Indicator Light will illuminate, and the “ESC OFF” message will display in the EVIC.To turn
ESC ON again, momentarily press the ESC OFF switch.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction
Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on
for four seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position.If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.If this light remains on, see your
authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
•The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
•Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it
was turned off previously.
•ESC Activation/Malfunction Light can blink during a ESC or TC intervention.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
•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 Moni-
toring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure tell-
tale 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 overheat and can lead to tire failure.Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

•IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST
THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE
VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE
DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
•Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation 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 not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated.This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists.
•When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system 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 alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS mal-
function 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 tempera-
ture 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 pres-
sures 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.

TIREFIT Usage Precautions
•Replace the TIREFIT Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) prior to the expiration
date (printed on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the system.Refer to
“Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT” section (F) “Sealant Bottle and Hose Replacement.”
•The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application use.After each
use, always replace these components immediately at an authorized dealer.
•When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a damp cloth will re-
move the material from the vehicle or tire and wheel components.Once the sealant
dries, it can easily be peeled off and properly discarded.
•For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is free of debris
before connecting the TIREFIT kit.
•
You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle tires.The kit also comes with two
needles, located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the bottom of the air pump)
for inflating sport balls, rafts, or similar inflatable items.However, use only the Air Pump
Hose (7) and make sure the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode when inflating such
items to avoid injecting sealant into them.The TIREFIT Sealant is only intended to seal punc-
tures less than 1/4” (6 mm) diameter in the tread of your vehicle.
•Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.
Sealing A Tire With TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use TIREFIT:
1.Pull over to a safe location and turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flashers.
2.Verify that the valve stem (on the wheel with the deflated tire) is in a position that is
near to the ground.This will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and (7) to reach the valve
stem and keep the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground.This will provide the best position-
ing of the kit when injecting the sealant into the deflated tire and running the air
pump.Move the vehicle as necessary to place the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.
3.Place the transmission in PARK (auto transmission) or in Gear (manual transmission)
and cycle the ignition to the OFF position.
4.Set the parking brake.
(B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
1.Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to the Sealant Mode position.
2.Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and then remove the cap from the fitting at the end of
the hose.
3.Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the ground next to the deflated tire.
4.Remove the cap from the valve stem and then screw the fitting at the end of the
Sealant Hose (6) onto the valve stem.
5.Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and insert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt power outlet.
6.Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.

•Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to come in contact with hair, eyes,
or clothing.TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through the skin.
It causes skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.Flush immediately with plenty of water
if there is any contact with eyes or skin.Change clothing as soon as possible, if
there is any contact with clothing.
•TIREFIT Sealant solution contains latex.In case of an allergic reaction or rash, con-
sult a physician immediately.Keep TIREFIT out of reach of children.If swallowed,
rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water and drink plenty of water.Do not
induce vomiting! Consult a physician immediately.
•TIREFIT is not a permanent flat tire repair.Have the tire inspected and repaired
or replaced after using TIREFIT.Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h) until the tire is
repaired or replaced.Failure to follow this warning can result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
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
