Fuel cap
LOOSE GAS CAP MESSAGE
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas
cap until a “clicking” sound is heard.
• Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after
tightening the gas cap, see your dealer.
tire pressure Monitoring sYsteM (tpMs)
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring light and a “low tire” message will display in
your instrument cluster, along with an audible chime, if one or more of
your vehicle’s four road tires are significantly under-inflated.
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended
pressure for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your
vehicle are found on the “Tire and loading Information” label located on
the driver’s side door opening. The TPMS light should not be used as a tire
pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning
when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for
your vehicle. The light will turn off after your vehicle’s tire pressures are
properly inflated and the pressure has been recognized. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the
light will turn off.
• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light
to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this
is normal and you should not adjust for this increased pressure.
• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and
tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may
turn on. Refer to your Owner’s Manual.
