The warning light will remain on until
the tire pressure is corrected.
g
The low tire pressure warning light
may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started, and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. This
may be an early indicator that the
tire pressures are getting low and
the tires need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. Maintain
the correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor Systemon page 10-36.
Driving for Better Fuel
Economy
Driving habits can affect fuel
mileage. Here are some driving tips
to get the best fuel economy
possible.
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the ignition key is dangerous and
children or others could be
seriously injured or killed. They
could operate the power windows
or other controls or make the
vehicle move. The windows will
function with the keys in the
ignition, and children or others
could be caught in the path of a
closing window. Do not leave
children in a vehicle with the
ignition key.
The key is used for the ignition and
all door locks.
A key number plate is supplied with
the keys. Record the key number
and keep it in a safe place not in the
vehicle. If the key is lost, see a
dealer for duplicates by using the
key number. Key numbers are not
recorded so it is very important to
keep track of the key number plate.
Key Access
See your dealer if a replacement
key or additional key is needed.
Keyless Access
If it becomes difficult to turn a key,
inspect the key blade for debris.
Periodically clean with a brush
or pick.
Remote Keyless Entry

page 13-12.
If there is a decrease in the RKE
operating range:
.
Check the distance. The
transmitter may be too far from
the vehicle.
.
Check the location. Other
vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
.
Check the transmitter's battery.
See “Battery Replacement” later
in this section.
.
If the transmitter is still not
working correctly, see your
dealer or a qualified technician
for service.
If equipped, the RKE transmitter
functions work up to 10 m (33 ft)

Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed
to the vehicle will work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and
programmed through your dealer.
When the replacement transmitter is
programmed to the vehicle, all
remaining transmitters must also be
programmed. Any lost or stolen
transmitters no longer work once the
new transmitter is programmed.
Each vehicle can have up to
five transmitters programmed to it.
Battery Replacement
