In Vehicle:
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive Entry
system is equipped with an automatic door unlock feature
which will function if the ignition switch is in the OFF posi -
tion.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel switch
is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors have been
closed the vehicle checks the inside and outside of the vehicle
for any valid Passive Entry key fobs. If one of the vehicle's
Passive Entry key fobs is detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid Passive Entry key fobs are detected outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System automatically unlocks all
vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times (on the third
attempt ALL doors will lock and the Passive Entry key fob
can be locked in the vehicle).

When Tire Fill Alert Mode is entered, the tire pressure
display screen will be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Operation:
• The horn will chirp to let the user know when to stop
filling the tire, when it reaches recommended pressure.
• The horn will chirp three times if the tire is over filled and
will continue to chirp every five seconds if the user
continues to inflate the tire.
• The horn will chirp once again when enough air is let out
to reach proper inflation level.
• The horn will also chirp three times if the tire is then
under-inflated and will continue to chirp every five
seconds if the user continues to deflate the tire.
Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA)
The Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA) system is an optional
feature that is included as part of the normal Tire Fill Alert
system. The system is designed to allow the customer to
select a pressure to inflate or deflate the vehicle's front and
rear axle tires to and to provide feedback to the customer
while inflating or deflating the vehicle's tires.
In the Selectable Tire Fill Alert customer settings menu in the
radio, the customer will be able to select a pressure setting for both the front and rear axle tire pressures by scrolling
through a pressure range from XX to 15 psi in 1 psi incre -
ments for each axle setting. XX = the vehicle’s cold placard
pressure values for the front and rear axles as shown on the
vehicle placard pressure label.
The customer may also store the pressure values chosen for
each axle in the radio as a preset pressure. The customer will
be allowed to store up to two sets of preset values in the radio
for the front and rear axle pressure values.
Once the customer selects the tire pressures for the front and
rear axles that they want to inflate or deflate to, they can
begin inflating or deflating one tire at a time.
NOTE:
The STFA system will only support inflating or deflating one
tire at a time.
The system will be activated when the TPM receiver module
detects a change in tire pressure. The ignition must be in the
RUN mode, with the transmission in PARK (P).
The hazard lamps will come on to confirm the vehicle is in
Tire Fill Alert mode.
When Tire Fill Alert Mode is entered, the tire pressure
display screen will be displayed in the instrument cluster. 4

186 SAFETY
Operation:
• The horn will chirp once when the selected pressure is
reached to let the user know when to stop inflating or
deflating the tire.
• The horn will chirp three times if the tire is over inflated or
over deflated and will continue to chirp every five seconds
if the user continues to inflate or deflate the tire.
• The horn will chirp once again when enough air is added
or removed to reach proper selected pressure level.
Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) 3500 Series
Trucks
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Informa -
tion System (TPIS).
The Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS) uses wireless
technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to
transmit tire pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each wheel
as part of the valve stem transmit tire pressure readings to
the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check the tire pressure
in all of the tires on your vehicle monthly and to maintain the
proper pressure. The TPIS consists of the following components:
• Receiver module
• Four TPM sensors (Single Rear Wheel (SRW) applications)
• Six TPM sensors (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applications)
• Pressure display in the instrument cluster
The TPIS system will display all four (Single Rear Wheel
(SRW) applications) or six (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applica -
tions) tire pressure values in the instrument cluster display.
If a system fault is detected, the instrument cluster will
display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum
of five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat,
providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no
longer exists, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message will no
longer be displayed, and a pressure value will display in
place of the dashes. A system fault can occur due to any of
the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving
next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the
TPM sensors.

212 SAFETY
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network

(OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key from the ignition
switch to avoid draining the battery. Carefully check the
vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before
resetting the system and starting the engine. If there are no
fuel leaks or damage to the vehicle electrical devices (e.g.
headlights) after an accident, reset the system by following
the procedure described below. If you have any doubt,
contact an authorized dealer.
