pressure reaches the designated pressure, the

• If the hazard indicator does not flash within
approximately 15 seconds after starting to in-
flate the tire, it indicates that the Easy-Fill Tire
Alert is not operating.
• The TPMS will not activate the Easy-Fill Tire
Alert under the following conditions:
– If there is interference from an external de-
vice or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device is
not sufficient to inflate the tire, such as those
using a power socket.
– If electrical equipment is being used in or
near the vehicle.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS system.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard
indicators.
– If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not operate
due to TPMS interference, move the vehicle
about 3 ft (1 m) backward or forward and try
again.
If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a tire
pressure gauge.
AVOIDING COLLISION AND
ROLLOVER
WARNING
Failure to operate this vehicle in a safe
and prudent manner may result in loss of
control or an accident.
Be alert and drive defensively at all times. Obey
all traffic regulations. Avoid excessive speed,
high speed cornering, or sudden steering ma-
neuvers, because these driving practices could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle. As with
any vehicle, a loss of control could result in
a collision with other vehicles or objects, or
cause the vehicle to rollover, particularly if
the loss of control causes the vehicle to
slide sideways. Be attentive at all times, and
avoid driving when tired. Never drive when under
the influence of alcohol or drugs (including pre-
scription or over-the-counter drugs which may
cause drowsiness). Always wear your seat belt
as outlined in “Seat belts” in the “Safety — Seats,
seat belts and supplemental restraint system”
section of this manual, and also instruct your
passengers to do so.
Seat belts help reduce the risk of injury in colli-
sions and rollovers. In a rollover crash, an
unbelted or improperly belted person is
significantly more likely to be injured or
killed than a person properly wearing a
seat belt.
OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
While driving, the right side or left side wheels
may unintentionally leave the road surface. If this
occurs, maintain control of the vehicle by follow-
ing the procedure below. Please note that this
procedure is only a general guide. The vehicle
must be driven as appropriate based on the con-
ditions of the vehicle, road and traffic.
1. Remain calm and do not overreact.
2. Do not apply the brakes.
3. Maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel with
both hands and try to hold a straight course.
4. When appropriate, slowly release the accel-
erator pedal to gradually slow the vehicle.
5. If there is nothing in the way, steer the vehicle
to follow the road while the vehicle speed is
reduced. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle
back onto the road surface until vehicle speed
is reduced.
