Driving while distracted can result in a loss of vehicle control
that may lead to an accident, severe personal injury and
death. The driver’s primary responsibility is in the safe and
legal operation of a vehicle, and use of any handheld devices,
other equipment or vehicle systems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away from the safe operation of a
vehicle or that are not permissible by law should never be
used during operation of the vehicle.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
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 .
The LCD screen in the instrument cluster will display the Low Tire Pressure
indicator
A showing which tire(s) are underinflated . 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 then illuminate - See dealer
for service .

•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
QUICK TIP
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:

• 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 can vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size,
e .g ., 12-gal . vs . 24-gal ., even though the MPG may be the same
