Maintenance
Tire Pressure Monitor
This vehicle may have a Tire
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS).
The TPMS warning light alerts you

one of the vehicle's tires. If the
warning light comes on, stop as
soon as possible and inflate the
tires to the recommended pressure
shown on the Tire and Loading
Information label. SeeVehicle Load
Limits on page 9‑12. The warning
light will remain on until the tire
pressure is corrected. During cooler conditions, the low tire
pressure warning light may appear
when the vehicle is first started and
then turn off. This may be an early
indicator that the tire pressures are
getting low and the tires need to be
inflated to the proper pressure.
The TPMS does not replace normal
monthly tire maintenance. It is the
driver
’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressures.
See Tire Pressure Monitor System
on page 10‑50.

Range for Remaining Fuel
This display shows the approximate
number of remaining miles the
vehicle can be driven without
refueling.
The minimum display for the range
is 45 miles. Once the minimum
display range is under 45 miles, you
will see dashes on the display.
The fuel range estimate is based on
an average of the vehicle's fuel
economy over recent driving history
and the amount of fuel remaining in
the fuel tank. This estimate will
change if driving conditions change.
For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this display
may read one number, but if the
vehicle is driven on a freeway, the
number may change even thoughthe same amount of fuel is in the
fuel tank. This is because different
driving conditions produce different
fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel
economy than city driving.
Outside Temperature
This display shows the approximate
outside temperature.
Average Fuel Economy
This display shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg).
This number is calculated based on
the number of mpg recorded since
the last time this menu item was
reset. To reset the average fuel
economy, press and hold the trip
computer button.
Driving Time
This display can be used as a timer.
The display will show the amount of
time that has passed since the timer
was last reset. The timer is only
running while the vehicle is moving.
To reset the driving time, press and
hold the trip computer button.
