ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control system commonly r eferred to as ESP . This system includes the ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System), the TCS (T raction Control System), the BAS (Brake Assist System), and the ESP (Electr onic Stability Program). These systems work together to enhance both v[...]

BAS (Brake Assist System) This system complements the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) by optimizing the vehicle braking capability dur- ing emergency braking maneuvers. This system detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes. This can help reduce braking di[...]

The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of oversteer or understeer . • Oversteer - when[...]

Partial Of f The “Partial Off” mode is intended for times when a more spirited driving experience is desir ed. It is also intended for driving in deep snow , sand, or gravel. This mode disables the TCS portion of the ESP and raises the threshold for ESP activation, which allows for more wheel spin than what ESP normally allows. The “ESP OFF?[...]

W ARNING! In the ESP Full Off mode, the engine torque reduc- tion and stability features are cancelled. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavailable. NOTE: When the ESP is switched of f a feature of the system remains active. This featur e controls wheel spin across an axle quite similarly to a limited slip dif ferential.[...]

ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The malfunction indicator light for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator . The yellow “ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light” and the yellow “ESP/TCS Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster both come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. They sh[...]

NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation.

W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them. TIRES — GENERAL INFORMA TION Tire Pressure Proper tir e inflation pressur e is essential to the safe and satisfactory [...]

2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion. 3. Ride Comfort and V ehicle Stabili[...]

CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.” Cold tire inflation pr essure is defined as[...]

W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h). Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of [...]

T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e [...]

Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e. The manu- facturer str ongly recommends that you use tir es equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed (r efer to the parag[...]

CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear . • V ehicle pull to right or left. T ires may also cause the vehicle to pull to [...]

CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is im- portant that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could indicate chain [...]

TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns. These effects can be r educed by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotatio[...]

Tire Rotation — All Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” as shown in the following diagram.

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 operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. After-market wheels can cause s[...]
