2. Low Tire Pressure Indicator Light
The tire pressure monitor (TPM) system uses
wireless technology to monitor tire pressure
levels. Sensors, mounted to each wheel as
part of the valve stem, transmit tire pressure
readings to a receiver located in the vehicle.
If the light is illuminated, the pressure in one of the tires
on the vehicle has dropped to at least 25% below the
recommended pressure on the vehicle’s tire label. Addi-
tionally, the indicator light will illuminate if a fault has
been detected in the TPM system.
CAUTION!
The TPM system is designed to monitor your tire
pressure and will not function as a tire pressure
gauge. After adjusting the air pressure in a tire, there
will be a delay before the system updates the dis-
play.
NOTE:
The TPM system can inform you about a low
tire pressure condition, but it does not replace normal tire
maintenance. The TPM system is not intended to provide
you with notification of rapid pressure loss.
NOTE:
The pressure in your tires changes with tem-
perature. A significant decrease in temperature could
reduce cold inflation pressure below the TPM setpoint.
ALWAYS check the pressure in your tires if the TPM
lamp is illuminated.
3. Coolant Indicator Light
This indicator illuminates when the engine
coolant has dropped below the required
level in the reservoir or the coolant tempera-
ture is too high (see the Temperature gauge
section).
To check the coolant level, the vehicle must be parked on
level ground and the engine stopped.
Check coolant level only when the coolant is cold.
