NOTE:

Low ambient temperature and/or high altitude causes tire pressures to drop 

and may turn the TPMS warning light on. If the warning light comes on, check the tire 

pressure and fill the tires as soon as possible, preferably before moving the vehicle  

and warming up the tires. Tire pressure should be checked when the tires are cold.

The instrument cluster has a dimmer function that can be 

cancelled to make the illumination brighter during the 

day when the headlights are on. If the illumination  

is too dim during the day, press the knob, or if 

the illumination does not dim when turning  

on the headlights at night, press the knob. 

When dimmed, rotate the knob to adjust  

the brightness of the illumination.
