BEFORE DRIVING Warning and Indicator Lights Front Passenger's Seat Belt Reminder Light For details about the seat belt reminder, refer to "Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems" in this section. Low Tire Pressure Warning Light WARNING It is absolutely essential that the driver and passengers wear their seat belts at all times. Persons who are not wearing seat belts have a much greater risk of injury if an accident occurs. Make a regular habit of buckling your seat belt before putting the key in the ignition. 52D305 As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that uses a low tire pressure warning light to inform you when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. When the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, the low tire pressure warning light comes on briefly so you can check that the light is working. When the low tire pressure warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as indicated on the vehicle's tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked at least once a month when cold and set to the recommended 66J246 The front passenger's seat belt reminder light is located in the center of the instrument panel. If there is a passenger in the front seat and the front passenger's seat belt is unbuckled about 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, this light will come on and then blink. When the light comes on, a buzzer will also sound intermittently for about 6 seconds. The reminder will repeat several times under certain conditions until the front passenger's seat belt is buckled. After repeating several times, the reminder will be canceled even if the front passenger's seat belt remains unbuckled. 2-55 79K21-03E
