< The red seat belt telltale
illuminates for a brief
period after starting the
engine.
The telltale reminds you to fasten seat
belts.
Fasten your seat belt.
The telltale goes out.
H The yellow warning
lamp for the tire pres-
sure monitor comes on.
The tire pressure monitor detects a rapid or
significant loss of pressure in at least one
tire.
Bring the vehicle to a halt, avoiding
abrupt steering and braking maneu-
vers. Observe the traffic situation
around you.
Take note of the messages in the mul-
tifunction display.
Warning! G
When the tire pressure monitoring system
warning lamp is lit, one or more of your
tires is significantly under-inflated. You
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure as indicated on the vehicle’s tire
information placard. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability. Each
tire, including the spare, should be
checked monthly when cold and set to the
recommended inflation pressure as speci-
fied in the vehicle placard and owner’s
manual.
i
The recommended tire inflation pres-
sure for your vehicle can be found on
the inside of the fuel filler flap, not in
the owner’s manual.
