Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The Tire Pressure Monitor System
alerts you when a significant
reduction in pressure occurs in one
or more of your vehicle’s tires by
illuminating the low tire pressure
warning light on the instrument
cluster. The warning light will remain
on until the tire pressure is
corrected. The proper tire pressures
for your vehicle are listed on the
Tire and Loading Information label
located on the driver side center
pillar (B pillar). See Vehicle Load
Limits on page 9‑10.
You may notice during cooler
conditions that the low tire pressure
warning light will appear when the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you drive. This may be an
early indicator that your tire
pressures are getting low and the
tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
Note:
The Tire Pressure Monitor
System can alert you about low tire
pressure, but it does not replace
normal monthly tire maintenance.
It is the driver ’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10‑44andTire Pressure
Monitor Operation on page 10‑46.
Tire Sealant and
Compressor Kit
This vehicle may come with a jack
and spare tire or a tire sealant and
compressor kit. The kit can be used
to seal small punctures in the tread
area of the tire.
See Tire Sealant and Compressor
Kit
on page 10‑59for complete
operating information.

Questions and Answers About
Safety Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicleafter a crash if I am wearing a
safety belt?
A: You could be—whether you are
wearing a safety belt or not. But
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident, so
you canunbuckle and get out, is
much greater if you are belted.
And you can unbuckle a safety
belt, even if you are
upside down. Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why
should I have to wear safety
belts?
A: Airbags are supplemental
systems only; so they work with
safety belts —not instead of
them. Whether or not an airbag
is provided, all occupants still
have to buckle up to get the
most protection. That is true not
only in frontal collisions, but
especially in side and other
collisions. Q: If I am a good driver, and I
never drive far from home,
why should I wear safety
belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver,
but if you are in a crash —even
one that is not your fault —you
and your passenger(s) can be
hurt. Being a good driver does
not protect you from things
beyond your control, such as
bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within
40 km (25 miles) of home. And
the greatest number of serious
injuries and deaths occur at
speeds of less than
65 km/h (40 mph).
Safety belts are for everyone.
