Tire Pressure Light

For vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system,
this light comes on briefly when the engine is started.
It provides information about tire pressures and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

When the Light is On Steady

This indicates that one or more of the tires are
significantly underinflated.

A tire pressure message in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), can accompany the light. See Driver
Information Center (DIC)
on page 4-37 for more
information. Stop and check the tires as soon as it is safe
to do so. If underinflated, inflate to the proper pressure.
See Inflation - Tire Pressure on page 6-59 for more
information.

When the Light Flashes First and Then is
On Steady

This indicates that there may be a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitor System. The light flashes for about
a minute and stays on steady for the remainder of
the ignition cycle. This sequence repeats with every
ignition cycle. See Tire Pressure Monitor Operation
on page 6-62 for more information.

Check Engine Light

A computer system called OBD II (On-Board
Diagnostics-Second Generation) monitors operation
of the fuel, ignition, and emission control systems.
It ensures that emissions are at acceptable levels
for the life of the vehicle, helping to produce a cleaner
environment.

This light should come on
when the ignition is on, but
the engine is not running,
as a check to show it
is working. If it does not,
have the vehicle serviced
by your dealer/retailer.
