Yellow Telltale

What It Means

Light

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure

is lower than the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these

cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.

Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the

indications corresponding to each tire in sequence.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 129

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and

stopping ability.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires

as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,

avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair imme-

diately using the dedicated tire repair kit and con-

tact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper

tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to

maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation

has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the

TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

4

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be

checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation

pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on

the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If

your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size

indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres-

sure label, you should determine the proper tire infla-

tion pressure for those tires.)

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS

malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is

not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indica-

tor is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When

the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash

for approximately one minute and then remain continu-

ously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon

subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction

exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,

the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire

pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for

a variety of reasons, including the installation of re-

placement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle

that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Al-

ways check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replac-

ing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system

(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale

when one or more of your tires is significantly under-

inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale

illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as

soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-

sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire

causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic

System called OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The

light will illuminate when the ignition is in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position before en-

gine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from STOP (OFF/LOCK) to

MAR (ACC/ON/RUN), have the condition checked promptly.

Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate

the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through sev-

eral typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not

require towing.

When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert serious conditions that could lead to

immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be ser-

viced as soon as possible if this occurs.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 133

WARNING!

CAUTION!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced

above, can reach higher temperatures than in nor-

mal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if

you drive slowly or park over flammable sub-

stances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc.

This could result in death or serious injury to the

driver, occupants or others.

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle

control system. It also could affect fuel economy

and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe

catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon

occur. Immediate service is required.

Recirculation

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) — If

Equipped

When outside air contains smoke, odors, or high hu-

midity, or if rapid cooling is desired, you may wish to

recirculate interior air by pushing the Recirculation

control button. The recirculation indicator will illumi-

nate when this button is selected. Push the button a

second time to turn off the Recirculation mode and

allow outside air into the vehicle.

Automatic Operation

1. Push the AUTO button on the faceplate.

system to maintain by adjusting the driver and

passenger temperature control buttons. Once the

desired temperature is displayed, the system will

achieve and automatically maintain that comfort

level.

NOTE: In cold weather, use of recirculation mode may

lead to excessive window fogging. The recirculation

feature may be unavailable (button on the touchscreen

greyed out) if conditions exist that could create fogging

on the inside of the windshield. On systems with

Manual Climate Controls, the Recirculation mode is not

allowed in Defrost mode to improve window clearing

operation. Recirculation will be disabled automatically

if this mode is selected. Attempting to use Recirculation

while in this mode will cause the LED in the control

button to blink and then turn off.

3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it

is not necessary to change the settings. You will

experience the greatest efficiency by simply allowing

the system to function automatically.

NOTE:

• It is not necessary to move the temperature settings

for cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically

adjusts the temperature, mode, and blower speed to

provide comfort as quickly as possible.

• The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric

units by selecting the US/Metric customer-

programmable feature.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 179

To provide you with maximum comfort in the Auto-

matic mode during cold start-ups, the blower fan will

remain on low until the engine warms up. The blower

will increase in speed and transition into Auto mode.

Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with a

high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corro-

sion protection and to protect against engine overheat-

ing. OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recom-

mended. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in

“Maintaining Your Vehicle” for proper coolant selec-

tion.

Manual Operation Override

4

This system offers a full complement of manual over-

ride features. The AUTO symbol in the front ATC

display will be turned off when the system is being

used in the manual mode.

Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor-

mance, make sure the engine cooling system is func-

tioning properly and the proper amount, type, and

concentration of coolant is used. Refer to “Maintenance

Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for proper

coolant selection. Use of the air Recirculation mode

during Winter months is not recommended because it

may cause window fogging.

NOTE: The system will not automatically sense the

presence of fog, mist or ice on the windshield.

DEFROST mode must be manually selected to clear the

windshield and side glass.

Operating Tips

NOTE: Refer to the chart at the end of this section for

suggested control settings for various weather condi-

tions.

Vacation/Storage

Outside Air Intake

Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service

(i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air

conditioning system at idle for about five minutes, in

fresh air with the blower setting on high. This will

ensure adequate system lubrication to minimize the

possibility of compressor damage when the system is

started again.

Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the

windshield, is free of obstructions such as leaves.

Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce airflow,

and if they enter the plenum, they could plug the water

drains. In winter months, make sure the air intake is

clear of ice, slush, and snow.

A/C Air Filter

Window Fogging

The climate control system filters out dust and pollen

from the air. Contact your authorized dealer to service

your A/C air filter, and to have it replaced when

needed.

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy

and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select

Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower

speed. Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C

for long periods, as fogging may occur.
