Driving Tips

Spare tire
1. Temporary spare tire

Stored under panel in liftgate; 
to change flat tire: Follow
instructions in Owner’s Manual.

WARNING: Do not exceed 
50 mph with temporary spare.
Tip: For instructions 
and restrictions on use 
of temporary spare tire, 
see Owner’s Manual.

Gas cap

After filling vehicle with gasoline,
fully reinstall gas cap by turning
clockwise until a clicking sound is
heard, if gas cap is not fully installed,
Check Engine light may come on.
For more information on Check
Engine light, see Owner’s Manual.

Tire economy and tips

Check tire pressure monthly when
tires are cold, use a digital tire
pressure gauge for accurate tire
pressure measurement.
Tires should be of the same 
type and size.
Maintain correct front-end alignment
and tire balance; rotate tires at
5,000 or 7,500 mile intervals; see
Owner’s Manual for rotation chart.

Tire pressure 

Decal on Driver’s B-pillar provides 
tire pressure information.

Anti-lock Braking 
System (ABS)

ABS automatically reduces
hydraulic pressure to any wheel
on the verge of locking up.
You may feel a slight pulsing of
the brake pedal and hear a 
clicking noise; this tells you the
ABS is functioning properly;
increase pressure on pedal for
maximum braking. 

Tips: Maintain constant 
pressure on the brake pedal.
Do not pump the brakes.

ABS self test

A self-diagnostic test is performed
when starting; you may feel some
brake pedal pulsation and hear
some noise, this is normal.

Traction Control 
System (TCS)

Enhances traction and safety 
by regulating engine torque.
When TCS detects drive wheel
slippage it lowers engine torque
to prevent loss of traction.

Dynamic Stability 
Control (DSC) 

Controls braking and engine
torque in conjunction with ABS
and TCS to help control side slip
on slippery surfaces or during 
sudden or evasive maneuvering.
