CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your
vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance
beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

• If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over and

stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal,
turn the engine off immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have

the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized service center for service
if your vehicle overheats.

BRAKE

- Brake Warning Light

• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the

parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.

• We recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced

immediately.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
