If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or
Blinks

■

Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink

A tire pressure is significantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.
If there is a problem with the TPMS, the indicator blinks for about one
minute, and then stays on.
If the compact spare tire

is installed, the indicator will either come on or

it will first blink for about one minute, then stay on.

■

What to do when the indicator comes on

Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver side doorjamb.

Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.

2 TPMS Calibration P. 472

If the compact spare tire

causes the indicator to come on, change the

tire to a full-size tire. The indicator goes off after calibrating the TPMS.

■

What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on

Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact
spare tire

causes the indicator to first blink, and then stay on, change

the tire to a full-size tire. The indicator goes off after calibrating the
TPMS.

If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks

NOTICE

Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause
it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always
inflate your tires to the prescribed level.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses

1. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF. Turn

headlights and all accessories off.

2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine

compartment.

If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screw and
replace it with a new one.

4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine

compartment and the vehicle interior.

If there is a blown fuse, remove it with
the fuse puller and replace it with a new
one.

5. Check the large fuse in the vehicle interior.

If the fuse is blown, use a phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screw and
replace it with a new one.

6. Inspect the small fuses in the vehicle

interior.

If there is a burned out fuse, remove it
with the fuse puller and replace it with a
new one.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses

NOTICE

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating
greatly increases the chances of damaging the
electrical system.

Replace fuse with a spare fuse of the same specified
amperage.
Use the charts to locate the fuse in question and
confirm the specified amperage on the fuse label.

Emergency Towing

Call a professional towing service if you need to tow your vehicle.

■

Flat bed equipment

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

■

Wheel lift equipment

The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off
the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to
tow your vehicle.

Emergency Towing

NOTICE

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed
to support the vehicle’s weight.

Make sure the parking brake is released. If you
cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must
be transported by the flat bed equipment.

2 Parking Brake P. 531

NOTICE

Improper towing such as towing behind a
motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.

Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.
It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift
from side to side or break.

When You Cannot Unlock the Fuel Fill Door

If you cannot open the fuel fill door, use the following procedure.

1. Open the trunk.
2. Pull the release lever to the right.

The fuel fill door unlocks.

3. Open the fuel fill door.

2 How to Refuel P. 547

4. Add fuel very slowly.

The automatic fuel tank vent valve does
not operate when the fuel fill door is
opened manually. Trying to add fuel too
rapidly when the vent valve is closed will
cause fuel vapors to be pushed out the
filler pipe and can cause a small amount
of liquid fuel to be spilled onto the
ground.

■

What to Do When Unable to Unlock the Fuel Fill Door

When You Cannot Unlock the Fuel Fill Door

After taking these steps, contact a dealer to have the
vehicle checked.

The automatic fuel tank vent does not operate when
using the manual fuel door release. Gradually release
pressure by slowly turning the fuel fill cap to the left.
If you hear a release of air, wait until it stops, then
continue to slowly remove the fuel fill cap.

WARNING

Gasoline vapors in tank are under pressure.
• If using the manual fuel door release,

open the cap slowly to gradually release
pressure.

• Stop the engine, and keep all sparks,

heat, and flame away.
