Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) with Tire Fill Assist

Driving

To select the tire pressure monitor, please follow 
the following steps using the buttons on the 
steering wheel.

1.

Set the power mode to ON.

2.

Press the 

 (home) button.

3.

Roll the left selector wheel until you see the 
tire pressure screen.

To select the tire pressure monitor, set the 
power mode to ON, and roll the right selector 
wheel until you see the tire pressure screen.

The pressure for each tire is displayed in psi.

Tire pressures low

 is displayed when a tire 

has significantly low pressure. The specific tire 
is displayed on the screen.

Tire Pressure Monitor

The pressure displayed on the driver information 
interface can be slightly different from the actual 
pressure as measured by a gauge. If there is a 
significant difference between the two values, or if 
the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS indicator and the 
message on the driver information interface do not 
go off after you have inflated the tire to the specified 
pressure, have the system checked by a dealer.

Tire pressure monitor system problem

 may 

appear if you drive with the spare tire, or there is a 
problem with the TPMS.

The system checks each tire’s position on the vehicle 
each time the power mode is set to ON. “--” is 
displayed when the vehicle has not yet identified the 
location each sensor or when there is a problem. To 
allow the vehicle to identify the sensor locations, 
drive at a speed of more than 25 mph (40 km/h) until 
each tire pressure is displayed.

If the pressure display does not update even after 
driving for one minute or if “--” is displayed for each 
wheel with an amber tire icon, have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

Driving

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required 
Federal Explanation

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 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.

551

uu

When Driving

u

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation

Driving

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.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction 
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire 
pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the 
telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain 
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon 
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may 
not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.

TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including 
the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the 
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or 
more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the 
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to 
continue to function properly.

Blind Spot Information System

*

Driving

Blind Spot Information System

*

When the system detects vehicles approaching from behind in adjacent lanes, the 
appropriate indicator comes on, providing assistance when you change lanes.

The system activates when your vehicle is moving forward at about 20 mph (32 km/h) 
or above.

Alert zone range
A: Approx. 1.6 ~ 10 feet (0.5 ~ 3 meters) from vehicle side.
B: Approx. 10 feet (3 meters) from rear bumper.
C: Approx. 10 ~ 82 feet (3 ~ 25 meters) behind from rear bumper. (The faster the 
approaching vehicle, the further away it will be detected.)

The initially set alert zone is alert zone 1. Over time, after the vehicle has been driven 
on straight roads with traffic and roadside objects, the system will adapt and expand 
the alert zone (alert zone 1 and 2).

■

How the System works

Blind Spot Information System

*

Important Safety Reminder

Like all assistance systems, the blind spot information 
system has limitations. Always look in your mirrors, to 
either side of your vehicle, and behind you for other 
vehicles before changing lanes. Overreliance on the 
blind spot information system may result in a 
collision.

Have your vehicle checked by a dealer in the 
following situations:

•

The rear bumper or area around the radar sensors 
is strongly impacted.

•

The indicator does not come on even if a vehicle in 
the alert zone should have been detected.

•

The rear bumper or any system components need 
to be repaired.

If the rear bumper or any system components are 
repaired, the system will revert to alert zone 1 only 
until it is able to adapt and expand to alert zone 1 
and 2.

For proper blind spot information system operation:

•

Always keep the rear bumper and area around the 
radar sensors clean.

•

Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with 
labels or stickers of any kind.

The system is for your convenience only. Even if an 
object is within the alert zone, the following 
situations may occur:

•

The blind spot information system alert indicator 
does not come on and the message

●

The speed difference between your vehicle and a vehicle, pedestrian, or moving 
bicycle detected in front of you becomes about 3 mph (5 km/h) and over with a 
chance of a collision.

●

Your vehicle drives at about 18 mph (30 km/h) or less and there is a chance of a 
frontal collision with a detected oncoming vehicle when you turn left at an 
intersection.

●

Your vehicle speed is about 62 mph (100 km/h) or less and the system determines 
there is a chance of a collision with:
- An oncoming or stationary vehicle detected in front of you.
- A pedestrian or moving bicycle detected in front of you.

Low Speed Braking Control

*

Using sonar sensors located on the front and rear bumpers, this system can detect if 
there is danger of a potential collision with a wall or other obstacle during normal 
driving or when the accelerator pedal is depressed with too much force. The system 
then assists in avoiding collisions and reducing damage from impact through 
assistive braking and/or assistive driving power suppression.

If the Low Speed Braking Control activates in a 
situation where you do not want automatic brake 
application (such as when the vehicle is between two 
railroad crossing gates), simply press the brake pedal 
to deactivate the system and then continue to drive 
as intended.

WARNING

The Low Speed Braking Control System 
cannot avoid all collisions and may not 
reduce damage in each situation where the 
accelerator is mistakenly or aggressively 
pressed. Overreliance on the system may 
result in a collision with serious injury or 
death. Always check your surroundings, 
your shift position, and your pedal use.

Assistive braking

Assistive braking provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle is moving 
between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the possibility of 
a collision with a detected wall or other obstacles, as well as providing assistance 
with braking.

If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive 
braking will not work when reversing.

Assistive driving power suppression

When the vehicle is stopped or moving at less than 6 mph (10 km/h) and there is an 
obstacle such as a wall detected near the front or back of the vehicle, if the 
accelerator pedal is depressed more than necessary, the system will inform you with 
a visual and audible alert. At the same time, the system will prevent sudden forward 
or backwards movement by limiting the output of the engine, then assistive braking 
will activate when you get closer to the obstacle.

Assistive driving power suppression will not activate in the following situations.
When moving forward:
