button for at least one second.
3. An ACKNOWLEDGED message will
display when the system resets.

Changing a Flat Tire
The spare tire and jack are located in
the spare tire well, under the trunk load
floor.
Position the jack at the proper lift points
under the vehicle before attempting to
jack up the vehicle. It’s important to follow
all of the guidelines in your Owner Manual
to safely and properly change a tire.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Securing the Fuel Cap
If the Check Gas Cap message is dis-
played on the Driver Information Center
when the engine is running, check that
your fuel cap is securely fastened. If the
cap is not secure, turn it clockwise until
a clicking sound is heard, indicating that
it is properly installed.
The Check Gas Cap message will turn
off after a few driving trips with the cap
properly installed.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
