or front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat

Belt Indicator Light will flash or remain on continuously.

Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know

Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
14. Turn Signal Indicator

The arrows will flash with the exterior turn

signals when the turn signal lever is operated.

A tone will chime, and an EVIC/DID message

will appear if either turn signal is left on for

more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:

If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check

for a defective outside light bulb.
15. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),

should be checked monthly when cold and

inflated to the inflation pressure recommended

by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle

has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should

determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those

tires).
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when

one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.

Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi-

nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as

possible and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving

on a significantly 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 vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper

tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
