The light also will turn on when the parking brake is

applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi-

tion.
NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
13. Fuel Gauge/Fuel Door Reminder

The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle

where the fuel door is located. The pointer shows the

level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in

the ON/RUN position.
14. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale 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 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 illumi-

nates, 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.
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.
