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 information.Anti-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

when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear

torque in conjunction with ABS
and TCS to help control side slip
on slippery surfaces or during
sudden or evasive maneuvering.
