When the engine is cold,
the coolant level should be
at or above the COLD
mark on the coolant
recovery tank.
If it isn't, you may have a leak at the pressure cap or
in the radiator hoses, heater hoses, radiator, water pump
or somewhere else in the cooling system.
{CAUTION:
Heater and radiator hoses, and other engine
parts, can be very hot. Don't touch them.
If you do, you can be burned.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Don't run the engine if there is a leak. If you run
the engine, it could lose all coolant. That could
cause an engine ®re, and you could be burned.
Get any leak ®xed before you drive the vehicle.
If there seems to be no leak, with the engine on, check
to see if the electric engine cooling fans are running.
If the engine is overheating, both fans should be
running. If they aren't, your vehicle needs service.
Notice:Engine damage from running your engine
without coolant isn't covered by your warranty.
See ªOverheated Engine Protection Operating
Modeº in the Index for information on driving to
a safe place in an emergency.
Notice:When adding coolant, it is important that
you use only DEX-COOLž(silicate-free) coolant.
If coolant other than DEX-COOLžis added to the
system, premature engine, heater core or radiator
corrosion may result. In addition, the engine coolant
will require change sooner Ð at 30,000 miles
(50 000 km) or 24 months, whichever occurs ®rst.
Damage caused by the use of coolant other than
DEX-COOL
žis not covered by your new vehicle
warranty.

Tire Pressure Monitor System
This vehicle has the tire in¯ation monitor system, it can
alert you to a large change in the pressure of one
tire. The system ªlearnsº the pressure at each tire
throughout the operating speed range of your vehicle.
The system normally takes between 45 and 90 minutes
of driving to learn the tire pressures. This time may
be longer depending on your individual driving habits.
Learning need not be accumulated during a single
trip. Once learned, the system will remember the tire
pressures until the system is recalibrated.
See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-65for
more information.
This symbol, along with the
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
warning message will
appear in the Driver
Information Center (DIC)
if the pressure in one tire
becomes 12 psi (83 kPa)
lower than the other
three tires.
The tire in¯ation monitor system won't alert you if the
pressure in more than one tire is low, if the system is not
properly calibrated, or if the vehicle is moving faster
than 70 mph (110 km/h).The tire in¯ation monitor system detects differences in
tire rotation speeds that are caused by changes in tire
pressure. The system can alert you about a low tire ± but
it doesn't replace normal tire maintenance. See
Tires on
page 5-68.
When the CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message
comes on, you should stop as soon as you can and
check all your tires for damage. (If a tire is ¯at, see
If a Tire Goes Flat on page 5-78). Also, check the
tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can.
See
In¯ation -- Tire Pressure on page 5-69.
The CHECK TIRE PRESSURE warning message will
also be displayed (while the ignition is on) until you reset
(calibrate) the system. To reset the system, see ªTire
In¯ation Monitor Systemº under the options mode in
DIC
Controls and Displays on page 3-45.
Don't reset the tire in¯ation monitor system without ®rst
correcting the cause of the problem and checking
and adjusting the pressure in all four tires. If you reset
the system when the tire pressures are incorrect,
the system will not work properly and may not alert you
when a tire is low.
Any time you adjust a tire's pressure, rotate your tires,
or have one or more tires repaired or replaced, you'll
need to reset (calibrate) the tire in¯ation monitor system.
You'll also need to reset the system whenever you
buy new tires and whenever the vehicle's battery has
been disconnected.
