Quick Reference Guide
I’m seeing an amber
indicator of a tire with an
exclamation point. What is
that? The Tire Pressure Monitoring Syst em (TPMS) needs attention. If
you recently inflated or changed a tire, you have to recalibrate
the system. 2 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (P497)
Pressing the electric
parking brake switch does
not release the parking
brake. Why? Press the electric parking brake switch with the brake pedal
depressed.
Depressing the accelerator
pedal does not release the
parking brake
automatically. Why? ●
Fasten the driver’s seat belt. ●
Check if the transmission is in ( P *
or ( N
. If so, select any other
position.
Why does the gear position
automatically change to ( P

when I open the driver’s
door to check for parking
space lines when
reversing? ●
Fasten the driver’s seat belt. ●
Close the driver’s door and manually change the gear
position. 2 When opening the driver’s door (P477)
Why do I hear a screeching
sound when I apply the
brake pedal? The brake pads may need to be replaced. Have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.Models with electronic gear selector
