24-HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE

• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number.

contact local police or safety authorities.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on

when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out with the

engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-

ously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system.

• If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven

several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you

drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

• 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 pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Moni-

toring 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 pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to

overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire

tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR

PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLAC-

ARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
