Tire Pressure Monitor System Tire/Wheel
Rotation and Sensor Replacement Ð If Equipped
With the TPM System, if a road tire and wheel is replaced
by the spare, the TPM system will detect the swap
automatically (after the ignition has been cycled) and
display SPARE SWAP DETECTED along with a chime.
This could take up to 10 minutes with vehicle speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
The tire pressure sensorsmustbe retrained following a
wheel rotation or sensor replacement. Refer to ªEVIC Ð
Retrain Tire Sensorsº in Section 3 for more information. It
is necessary to program the EVIC with the new sensor(s)
or the new position of each sensor as it is rotated to a
different corner of the vehicle.
If a wheel rotation is not followed by the retrain proce-
dure, the system will not properly inform you of the
correct vehicle location of a low or high tire pressure.
Tire Pressure Monitor System/4±LO Mode Ð If
Equipped
When the 4±LO mode is selected, the chime will not
sound until either: the vehicle speed is greater or equal to
25 mph (40 km/h) or the vehicle is taken out of the 4±LO
mode.
The low tire pressure warning messages (on the EVIC)
and the ªTire Pressure Monitor Warning Lightº will
continue to be displayed until the tire pressure has been
increased to the proper operating pressure.
General Information
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and
RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following conditions:
²This device may not cause harmful interference.
256 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
If the ªMalfunction Indicator Lightº is flashing,
immediate service is required. See ªOnboard Diag-
nostic Systemº in Section 7 of this manual.
Materials Added To Fuel
All gasoline sold in the United States is required to
contain effective detergent additives. Use of additional
detergents or other additives is not needed under normal
conditions.
FUEL TANK FILLER CAP (GAS CAP)
WARNING!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not ªtop
offº the fuel tank after filling.
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door, on the
left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged,
be sure the replacement cap has been designed for use
with this vehicle.
When tightening the gas cap, tighten until 2 or 3 clicks
are heard to insure that the cap is properly seated.
NOTE:A loose gas cap may cause the ªMalfunction
Indicator Lightº to illuminate.
262 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they
should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lining wear, higher
brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
Connecting trailer brakes to your vehicle's hydraulic
brake lines can overload your brake system and
cause it to fail. You might not have brakes when you
need them and could have an accident.
²Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer
size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are
mandatory for motoring safety.
²Follow the maintenance intervals in schedule ªBº for
changing the automatic transmission fluid and filter, if
you REGULARLY tow a trailer for more than 45
minutes of continuous operation.
STARTING AND OPERATING 265

5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack handle clockwise
until the tire clears the ground.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make
the vehicle less stable and cause an accident. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install
lug nuts with cone-shaped end toward wheel. Lightly
tighten nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing the
vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered.
8. Lower the vehicle by using a counterclockwise rota-
tion to lower the jack.

Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked
when performing under hood services, or immediately if
the ªBrake Warning Lightº shows system failure.Be sure to clean the top of the master cylinder area before
removing the cap. If necessary, add fluid to bring the
fluid level up to the requirements described on the brake
fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid level can be
expected to fall as the brake pads wear. However, low
fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be
needed.
Use only manufacturer's recommended brake fluid, refer
to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts
for correct fluid type.
WARNING!
Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial
boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may
result in sudden brake failure during hard pro-
longed braking. You could have an accident.
