1-18 In Brief

Tyre Pressure Monitor

This vehicle may have a Tyre
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The low tyre pressure warning light
alerts to a significant loss in
pressure of one of the vehicle's
tyres. If the warning light comes on,
stop as soon as possible and inflate
the tyres to the recommended
pressure shown on the Tyre and
Loading Information label. See
Vehicle Load Limits on page 9-12.
The warning light will remain on until
the tyre pressure is corrected.
The low tyre 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
tyre pressures are getting low and
the tyres need to be inflated to the
proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tyre maintenance. Maintain
the correct tyre pressures.
See Tyre Pressure Monitor System
on page 10-50.

Performance Vehicle

Features

Checking Engine Oil
Your vehicle may have a high
performance dry sump lubrication
system. This system operates
differently than a standard engine
lubrication system. See Engine Oil
on page 10-10.
Check the oil level only after the
engine has been thoroughly warmed
up and then check between five and
10 minutes of shutoff. This ensures
that the oil level reading obtained
will be accurate.
Brake Noise
Under certain weather or operating
conditions, occasional brake squeal
may be heard with the vehicle's
performance braking system. This
brake system is designed for
superior fade resistance and
consistent operation using high
performance brake pads. Brake
squeal is normal and does not affect
system performance.
Tyre Chatter/Hop
When driving at slow speeds and in
very tight turns, the vehicle may
have tyre chatter/hop. This condition
is normal and the vehicle does not
require service.
Road Imperfections/Crown Effects
The vehicle's precise steering and
handling make it very responsive to
road surface feedback. A slight pull
may be felt in the steering
depending on the crown of the road
and/or other road surface variations
