SAFETY 271 The TPIS consists of the following components: Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio wave signals. I MPORTANT S AFETY P RECAUTIONS Receiver module Four TPMS sensors (Single Rear Wheel (SRW) applications) Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly, to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. Six TPMS sensors (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applications) Using tire chains on the vehicle. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying air bag: Pressure display in the instrument cluster The TPIS will display all four (Single Rear Wheel (SRW) applications) or six (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applications) tire pressure values in the instrument cluster display. 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in the rear seat of a vehicle with a rear seat. If a system fault is detected, the instrument cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a minimum of five seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value to indicate which sensor is not being received.
Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems: O CCUPANT R ESTRAINT S YSTEMS F EATURES 2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly must be secured in the appropriate child restraint or belt-positioning booster seat in a rear seating position Ъ page287. 6 Seat Belt Systems 3. If a child from 2 to 12 years old (not in a rear-facing child restraint) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible and use the proper child restraint Ъ page287. If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists.
If the system fault no longer exists, the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message will no longer be displayed, and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes. A system fault can occur due to any of the following: Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) Air Bags Child Restraints Some of the safety features described in this section may be standard equipment on some models, or may be optional equipment on others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized dealer. 4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPMS sensors. 5.
You should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.
