SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM

-

54 : If you ever

see the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM message,
it means there may be a problem with your stability
enhancement system. If you see this message, try to
reset the system (stop; turn off the engine; then start the
engine again). If the SERVICE STABILITY SYSTEM
message still comes on, it means there is a problem.
You should see your dealer for service. Reduce your
speed and drive accordingly.

STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE

-

55 : You may see

the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message on the
Driver Information Center. It means that an advanced,
computer

-

controlled system has come on to help your

vehicle continue to go in the direction in which you’re
steering. This stability enhancement system activates
when the computer senses that your vehicle is just
starting to spin, as it might if you hit a patch of ice or
other slippery spot on the road. When the system is on,
you may hear a noise or feel a vibration in the brake
pedal. This is normal.

When the STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message is
on, you should continue to steer in the direction you
want to go. The system is designed to help you in bad
weather or other difficult driving situations by making
the most of whatever road conditions will permit. If the
STABILITY SYSTEM ACTIVE message comes on,
you’ll know that something has caused your vehicle to
start to spin, so you should consider slowing down.

Tire Pressure Status

-

140 : If you see the TIRE

PRESSURE LOW message, you should stop as soon as
you can and check all your tires for damage. (If a tire is
flat, see “If a Tire Goes Flat” in the Index.) Also check
the tire pressure in all four tires as soon as you can.
See “Inflation

-

Tire Pressure” and “Check Tire

Pressure System” in the Index.

There are times when you will have to reset (calibrate)
the Check Tire Pressure System. See “Check Tire
Pressure System” in the Index.
