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.

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 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)
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jam, visible when the door is opened .
• 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 Owner's Manual.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
