Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†24
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light
and TPMS Malfunction Indicator . The indicator will illuminate
if it detects 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) is 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,” i .e ., tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat •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
REMINDERS:
• Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver's door jamb, visible when the door is open
• Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) that have electronic noise may interfere with TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate.
Energy Consumption
There are several factors that contribute to
your electric vehicle’s energy consumption,
including maintenance of your vehicle, driving
style, environmental conditions, vehicle weight
and vehicle aerodynamics .
Below are tips on how to help reduce energy
consumption:
•Keep your vehicle in good condition
with regular maintenance
•Don’t “ride” the brake pedal
•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
•Ensure wheels are aligned correctly
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on
roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained
roads
•Use ECO or ECO+ Drive Modes in certain
weather conditions (rain, snow, wind)

With the Engine Start /Stop button in the ON position, press
the LK A button A to turn system ON . The instrument cluster
indicator will initially illuminate white . It will remain
white when the vehicle is traveling less than 40 mph or the
system does not detect the lane markers . When the LK A
system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering,
the LK A icon will illuminate green .
If the LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane,
the system may give an audible warning and display a LDW
(Lane Departure Warning) alert on the instrument cluster .
If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, the
LK A will apply a slight adjustment to the steering, trying to
prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane .
Standard LK A is the operating mode by default when the
LK A button is depressed to ON . To switch between modes
(Standard LK A, Active LK A and Lane Departure), go to User
Settings in the Instrument Cluster .
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
•The vehicle exceeds approximately 40 mph
•The LK A system recognizes both sides of the lane markers
the vehicle is traveling in
•The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
• LK A will not issue a warning if the turn signal or hazard signal is activated
• LK A will return to its previous setting on/off when the ignition is cycled
Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving, and may not always detect if the vehicle is moving outside of its lane. Always drive safely and use caution.
Your vehicle’s instrument cluster & indicator light locations may differ from those in the illustrations. For more information on the instrument cluster, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
These illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Actual indicators may vary in appearance.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)*†7
The FCA system is designed to help alert the driver, and, under certain conditions, apply emergency braking,
when approaching a vehicle that is slowing down, braking or stopped . Initially, FCA provides Forward Collision
Warning (FCW ) when it detects a potential collision with a vehicle in front, emitting an audible warning and visual
alert on the instrument cluster .
Adjust the alert settings (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings . To turn FCA /FCW off, go to User Settings again and
turn it off .
If the collision risk increases and other conditions are met, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) is designed to
automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision .
FCA can be turned ON in the User Settings menu on the Instrument Cluster display .
FCA /FCW will become active when the:
• Engine Start /Stop button is ON
• Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
• Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) / Forward Collision Warning (FCW)* are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution. FCA / FCW may not always alert the driver when the vehicle is approaching another vehicle.
REMINDERS:
• FCA will be activated by default when vehicle power is cycled on, even when previously set to off
• FCW will not operate when the vehicle is traveling faster than approximately 50 mph
• If FCA is operating and ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned of f, the FCA system is automatically turned off
• When FCA is not operating, the FCA warning indicator will illuminate on the Instrument Cluster
