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:
•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
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 .
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR Code to the right 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.
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 Light . See front
driver’s door jamb for PSI specification .
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) .

•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
