NOTICE
The engine runs at a higher idle speed and creeping increases.
Following can damage the under spoiler:
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
• Parking the vehicle by a parking block
• Parallel parking along the road shoulder
■ Kickdown
• Driving towards the bottom of a hill
• Driving up or down to a different surface level
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the

transmission to drop to a lower ratio, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed.
• Driving on a rutted or bumpy road
Depress the accelerator pedal carefully, especially on slippery roads and curves.
• Driving on a road with potholes

U.S. models
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required
Federal Explanation
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated 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
determine 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.
Accordingly, 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 significantly 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.
