CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, Rear Back Up Camera
should only be used as a parking aid. The Rear
Back Up Camera is unable to view every obstacle or
object in your drive path.
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be
driven slowly when using the Rear Back Up Cam-
era to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is
seen. It is recommended that the driver look fre-
quently over his/her shoulder when using the Rear
Back Up Camera.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the
driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recom-
mended cold placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature by approxi-
mately 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (6.5°C). This means
that when the outside temperature decreases, the tire
pressure will decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is defined as
the tire pressure after the vehicle has not been driven for
at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
after a three hour period. The cold tire inflation pressure
must not exceed the maximum inflation pressure molded
into the tire sidewall. Refer to "Tires – General Informa-
tion" in "Maintaining And Caring For Your Vehicle" for
information on how to properly inflate the vehicle's tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is
driven. This is normal and there should be no adjustment
for this increased pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if
the tire pressure falls below the low-pressure warning
limit for any reason, including low temperature effects
and natural pressure loss through the tire.
