Operation:

1. Add air to the tire.

2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators

will start flashing.

3. When the designated pressure is reached,

the horn beeps once and the hazard indica-
tors stop flashing.

4. Perform the above steps for each tire.

● If the tire is over-inflated more than ap-

proximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash 3
times. To correct the pressure, push the
core of the valve stem on the tire briefly to
release pressure. When the pressure
reaches the designated pressure, the
horn beeps once.

● If the hazard indicator does not flash

within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates that
the Easy Fill Tire Alert is not operating.

● The TPMS will not activate the Easy Fill

Tire Alert under the following conditions:

– If there is interference from an external

device or transmitter.

– The air pressure from the inflation device

is not sufficient to inflate the tire.

– There is a malfunction in the TPMS sys-

tem.

– There is a malfunction in the horn or haz-

ard indicators.

– The identification code of the tires pres-

sure sensor is not registered to the sys-
tem.

– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is

low.

● If the Easy Fill Tire Alert does not operate

due to TPMS interference, move the ve-
hicle about 3 ft (1 m) backward or forward
and try again.

If the Easy Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a tire
pressure gauge.

ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.

They have higher ground clearance than passen-
ger cars to make them capable of performing in a
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them a higher center of gravity than
ordinary cars. An advantage of higher ground
clearance is a better view of the road, allowing
you to anticipate problems. However, they are not

designed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more
than low-slung sports cars are designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road conditions. If at
all possible, avoid sharp turns at high speeds. As
with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control
or vehicle rollover. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt.

Be sure to read the driving safety precautions
later in this section.

AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER

WARNING

Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss of
control or an accident.

Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey
all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle. As with
any vehicle, loss of control could result in a
collision with other vehicles or objects or
cause the vehicle to roll over, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
