When Driving Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
U.S. models only
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. Accordingly, 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 signiicantly under-inlated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inlation also reduces fuel eficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inlation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.

Parking Your Vehicle Auto Idle Stop (Automatic Transmission - CVT)
Auto Idle Stop (Automatic Transmission - CVT) To help maximize fuel economy, Auto Idle Stop shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop, depending on environmental and vehicle operating conditions. The AUTO STOP indicator blinks at this time.The engine then restarts once the vehicle is about to move again, and the indicator goes off. If the driver’s door is opened while the indicator is blinking, a buzzer sounds to notify you that the auto idle stop function is in operation.
Auto Idle Stop (Automatic Transmission - CVT)
The duration of the Auto Idle Stop operation: Increases
• in the ECON mode compared to
normal or sport mode with climate control in use.Decreases
• if you operate the wipers and climate
control simultaneously.

Auto Idle Stop (Manual Transmission) To help maximize fuel economy, the engine automatically stops when the vehicle comes to a stop, depending on environmental and vehicle operating conditions. The AUTO STOP indicator blinks at this time. The engine then restarts once the vehicle is about to move again when you depress the clutch pedal fully, and the indicator goes off.If the driver’s door is opened while the indicator is blinking, a buzzer sounds to notify you that the auto idle stop function is in operation.
Auto Idle Stop (Manual Transmission)
If the Auto Idle Stop operating time lasts long enough to lower the 12 volt battery charge or the IMA battery charge, the engine may not restart automatically.Manually turn off the engine when you leave your vehicle. The duration of auto idle stop operation: Increases
• in the ECON mode compared to
normal or sport mode with climate control in use.Decreases
• if you operate the wipers and climate
