DIC, press the INFO button until thecurrent tire pressures are displayed;left front (LF), for example, is thedriver’s side front tire.

Correcting the Tire PressureWhen the low tire pressure warninglight illuminates, you must inflate thetire to the proper tire pressure (just asyou must refuel the vehicle when thelow fuel warning light illuminates). TheTire and Loading Information label,located on the center pillar below thedriver’s door latch, shows the correcttire pressure for the tires when they’recold. “Cold” means your vehicle hasbeen sitting for at least three hours ordriven no more than one mile.You can temporarily clear the DIC message by acknowledging it with yourDIC controls. However, at the next vehicle start-up, the DIC message willreappear if the tire pressure has notbeen corrected.During cooler conditions, the low tirepressure warning light may appearwhen the vehicle is first started andthen turn off as you start to drive. Thiscould be an early indicator that yourtire pressures are getting low and thetires need to be inflated to the properpressure.
