Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Display

The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) features
a driver-interactive display that is located in the instrument
cluster. For further information, refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)”.

9. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If Equipped

This indicator will illuminate when the park
lights or headlights are turned on.

10. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light —
If Equipped

Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and in-
flated 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 deter-
mine 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. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. 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 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
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale.
