TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Hill Descent Control sets and maintains vehicle speed from 3–19 mph while descend-ing a steep incline in a forward or reverse gear.

The Low Tire Pressure light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire pres-sures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Information Center.
With the ignition On or in Accessory Mode, the Tire Fill Alert will provide visual and audible alerts when inflating a tire to the recommended cold tire pressure (does not apply to spare tire). When the recommended pressure is reached, the horn sounds and the turn signals change from flashing to solid.
See Vehicle Care in your Owner’s Manual.
