The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator .
The indicator will illuminate if one or more tires is significantly underinflated,
the vehicle has a spare tire installed without TPMS or the outside temperature
becomes significantly lower .
Inflate tire(s) to specifications using an accurate digital
tire pressure gauge to turn off Low Tire Pressure
Position Indicator . See front driver’s door jamb for PSI
specification . The Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator A is displayed on the LCD screen in the Instrument
Cluster when the tire(s) are underinflated .
When there is a problem with the TPMS, the TPMS Malfunction Indicator will
blink for approximately one minute and then illuminate . See dealer for service .
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s) .
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your vehicle’s fuel economy, including maintenance of your vehicle, driving style,
environmental conditions, vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics . Below are tips on how to help improve fuel economy:
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR code above to view a video or refer to the brochure “GETTING MORE OUT OF EVERY GALLON, FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY” available at your local dealership.
REMINDER: Driving range varies depending on a vehicle’s fuel tank size, (e .g ., 12-gal . vs . 24-gal) . Even though the two vehicles MPG may be the same, the vehicle with the larger tank will have the greater range .
•Keep your vehicle in good condition with regular
maintenance
•Don’t let the engine idle longer than necessary
•Drive at a moderate speed, accelerating smoothly and at
a moderate rate
•Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
•Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in
your vehicles
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month . Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” •For proper maintenance and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and weight distribution recommended for your vehicle •In winter or cold weather, the TPMS light may illuminate if the tire pressure was adjusted to the recommended tire inflation pressure during warm weather
