CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

This message displays when the pressure in one or
more of the vehicle’s tires needs to be checked.
This message also displays LEFT FRONT, RIGHT
FRONT, LEFT REAR, or RIGHT REAR to indicate which
tire needs to be checked. You can receive more than
one tire pressure message at a time. To read the other
messages that may have been sent at the same
time, press the set/reset button or the trip odometer
reset stem. If a tire pressure message appears on the
DIC, stop as soon as you can. Have the tire pressures
checked and set to those shown on the Tire Loading
Information label. See Tires on page 5-58, Loading Your
Vehicle
on page 4-34, and Inflation - Tire Pressure on
page 5-65
. The DIC also shows the tire pressure values.

See “DIC Operation and Displays (Using DIC Buttons)”
earlier in this section. If the tire pressure is low, the
low tire pressure warning light comes on. See Tire
Pressure Light
on page 3-44.

DRIVER DOOR OPEN

This message displays and a chime sounds if the driver
door is not fully closed and the vehicle is in a drive
gear. Stop and turn off the vehicle, check the door for
obstructions, and close the door again. Check to
see if the message still appears on the DIC.

ENGINE HOT A/C (Air Conditioning)
TURNED OFF

This message displays when the engine coolant
becomes hotter than the normal operating temperature.
See Engine Coolant Temperature Gage on page 3-43.
To avoid added strain on a hot engine, the air
conditioning compressor automatically turns off.
When the coolant temperature returns to normal, the air
conditioning compressor turns back on. You can
continue to drive your vehicle.

If this message continues to appear, have the system
repaired by your dealer/retailer as soon as possible
to avoid damage to the engine.
