While using
the TAPshift
feature, the
transaxle will
have firmer
shifting and sportier performance. The
transaxle will allow you to shift only into
gears appropriate for the vehicle speed
and engine revolutions per minute (rpm).
While driving in the manual mode,
the transaxle will remain in the driver-
selected gear unless a shift is required
to protect the engine or transmission.
If the vehicle slows almost to a stop,
an automatic downshift will occur.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitor

The Tire Pressure Monitor alerts you
when a significant reduction in pressure
occurs in one or more of your vehicle's
tires by illuminating the
Pressure) warning light on the instru-
ment panel cluster. The low tire pressure
warning light will remain on until you
correct the tire pressure. A CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE message will also appear
on the DIC.
Correcting the Tire Pressure
When the low tire pressure warning light
illuminates, you must inflate the tire to
the proper tire pressure (just as you
must refuel the vehicle when the low
fuel warning light illuminates). The Tire
and Loading Information label shows the
correct tire pressure for the tires when
they're cold. "Cold" means your vehicle
has been sitting for at least three hours
or driven no more than one mile.
You can temporarily clear the DIC
message by acknowledging it with
your DIC controls. However, at the next
vehicle start-up, the DIC message will
reappear if the tire pressure has not
been corrected.
During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear when
the vehicle is first started and then turn
off as you start to drive. This could be
an early indicator that your tire pres-
sures are getting low and the tires need
to be inflated to the proper pressure.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
