TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(1)
Certifi ed to the Federal Regulations that allow less forceful front air bags. Always sit properly
in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat
correctly using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt positioned correctly for the
child’s age and weight.
(2)
No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless
driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other
conditions can affect. When the ESP warning lamp in the speedometer fl ashes, the driver
needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behavior to prevailing road conditions.
Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Always wear your seat belt.
