Driving Tips
Spare tire
1. Temporary spare tire
Stored under panel in liftgate; 
to change flat tire: Follow
instructions in Owner’s Manual
WARNING: Do not exceed 
50 mph with temporary spare
Tip: For instructions 
and restrictions on use 
of temporary spare tire, 
see Owner’s Manual
Gas cap
After filling vehicle with gasoline,
fully reinstall gas cap by turning
clockwise until a clicking sound is
heard, if gas cap is not fully installed,
Check Engine light may come on
For more information on Check
Engine light, see Owner’s Manual
Tire economy and tipsCheck tire pressure monthly when
tires are cold, use a digital tire
pressure gauge for accurate tire
pressure measurement
Tires should be of the same 
type and size
Maintain correct front-end alignment
and tire balance; rotate tires at
5,000 or 7,500 mile intervals; see
Owner’s Manual for rotation chart
Tire pressure Decal on Driver’s B-pillar provides 
tire pressure informationAnti-lock Braking 
System (ABS)
ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a 
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking 
Tips: Maintain constant 
pressure on the brake pedal
Do not pump the brakes
ABS self test
A self-diagnostic test is performed
when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear
some noise, this is normal2. Lug wrench and 
jack lever

Traction Control 
System (TCS)
Enhances traction and safety 
by regulating engine torque
When TCS detects drive wheel
slippage it lowers engine torque
to prevent loss of traction
Dynamic Stability 
Control (DSC) 
Controls braking and engine
torque in conjunction with ABS
and TCS to help control side slip
on slippery surfaces or during 
sudden or evasive maneuvering
