24. ESP/BAS Warning Lamp If Equipped
The lamp indicates a problem with one or more
of the functions of ESP. The yellow “ESP/BAS
Warning Lamp” in the instrument cluster
comes on when the ignition switch is turned to
the ON position as a bulb check. It should go out with the
engine running. If the “ESP/BAS Warning Lamp” comes
on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction
has been detected in the ESP system. If this light remains
on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been
driven several miles/kilometers at speeds greater than 30
mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE: 9The 9ESP/BAS Warning Lamp9 come on mo-
mentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
The ESP Control System will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is actively operating.
25. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light If
Equipped
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. Accord-
ingly, 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 signifi-
cantly under inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and
