CAUTION!

The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a
TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.

TPMS “Light Load” Reset Switch – If Equipped

The TPMS ”Light Load” reset switch allows you to
choose between Light Load vehicle conditions and Max
Load vehicle conditions tire pressures and related TPMS
warning levels. The switch is located in the instrument

panel, below the climate control panel. For additional
information refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) — If Equipped” in section 5 of this manual.

25. Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Light
(Automatic Transmissions Only)

This light indicates that there is excessive trans-
mission fluid temperature that might occur
with severe usage such as trailer towing. It may
also occur when operating the vehicle in a high

torque converter slip condition, such as 4-wheel drive
operation (e.g., snow plowing, off-road operation). If this
light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle
or faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the
light goes off.

26. Wait To Start Indicator

The Wait To Start indicator will illuminate when
the ignition is turned to the run position and the
intake manifold temperature is below 66°F (19°C).
