Possible causes/consequences and solutions

[Please Correct Tire
Pressure]

The tire pressure is too low in at least one of the tires, or the tire pressure difference between the wheels is too great.
1. Check the tire pressures at the next opportunity (see "Wheels and tires" in the "8. Do-it-yourself" section)

WARNING

Underinflated tires pose the following risks:

•

The tires may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed increase.

•

The tires may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly impair tire traction.

•

The driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may be greatly impaired.

There is a risk of an accident.
1. Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so.
2. Secure the vehicle against rolling away.
3. Check the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a flat tire (see "Flat tire" in the "6. In case of emergency" section).

[Warning Tire Malfunction] The tire pressure in one or more tires has dropped suddenly. The wheel position is displayed in the vehicle information display.

WARNING

If you drive with a flat tire, there is a risk of the following hazards:

•

A flat tire affects the ability to steer or brake the vehicle.

•

You could lose control of the vehicle.

cident. Warm the windshield with the
defroster before you wash the windshield.

CAUTION

•

Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.

•

Do not operate the washer if the win-
dow washer fluid reservoir is empty.

•

Do not fill the window washer reservoir
tank with washer fluid concentrates at
full strength. Some methyl alcohol
based washer fluid concentrates may
permanently stain the grille if spilled
while filling the window washer reser-
voir tank.

•

Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with
water to the manufacturer’s recom-
mended levels before pouring the fluid
into the window washer reservoir tank.
Do not use the window washer reservoir
tank to mix the washer fluid concentrate
and water.

NOTE

•

If the wiper operation is interrupted by
snow or ice, the wiper may stop moving to
protect its motor. If this occurs, turn the
wiper switch to the “OFF” position and
remove the snow or ice on and around the
wiper arms. In approximately 1 minute,
turn the switch on again to operate the
wiper.

•

Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place
when the windshield is dry.

•

If it is necessary to switch on the wipers in
dry weather conditions, always operate
them using washer fluid.

•

If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, this may
be due to wax or other residue. Clean the
windshield with washer fluid after an au-
tomatic car wash.

•

The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch

dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects are
stuck on or around the sensor. The wip-

•

When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall is
small.

•

Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.

•

The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain sen-
sor even if it is raining.

•

Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. For ad-
ditional information, refer to "Wiper
blades" in the "8. Do-it-yourself" sec-
tion.

•

Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the wind-
shield becomes dirty in dry weather con-
ditions, the windshield wipers may be
activated

inadvertently.

This

scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always
switch off the windshield wipers in dry
