Fuel Economy
Several factors contribute to your vehicle’s fuel economy, such as
maintenance of your vehicle, driving style, environmental conditions,
vehicle weight and vehicle aerodynamics. Below are some 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
§ Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
§ Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in your vehicle
§ Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
§ Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)† 27
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS
Malfunction Indicator.
The TPMS indicator is designed to illuminate if it detects one or more tires
is significantly underinflated, if a spare tire has been installed that does not
have a TPMS device, or when the outside temperature drops considerably.
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.
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.
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 the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
§ Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote start systems, etc.) may interfere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate

§ Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month. Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sitting for 20 minutes, and tires that are not hot in temperature from direct sunlight or heat
§
For proper maintenance, safety and optimal fuel economy, maintain recommended tire inflation pressure 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

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)*† 10
FCA is designed to detect and monitor a vehicle ahead or detect a pedestrian
in the roadway through front view camera recognition and front radar signals
to warn the driver that a collision is imminent, and if necessary, apply
emergency braking. Initially, FCA provides a Forward Collision Warning when it
detects a potential collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian in front, emitting an
audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
Adjust the Warning Time (Early, Normal, Late) in the User Settings. FCA is ON
by default and can be turned OFF in the User Settings, selecting Driving Assist,
then Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist.
If the system detects that the collision risk has increased, Forward Collision-
Avoidance Assist (FCA) automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed,
potentially helping to reduce the effects of a possible collision.
FCA will become active when the:
§ Engine Start /Stop button is ON
§ Vehicle is traveling more than 5 mph
§ Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is ON
REMINDERS:
§ FCA will be activated by default when the ignition is cycled ON, even when previous setting was OFF
§ FCA will not operate when the vehicle is traveling more than approximately 45/50 mph, respectively
§ If FCA is operating and the ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is turned off, FCA is automatically turned off
§ When FCA is turned off, the FCA warning indicator illuminates on in the Instrument Cluster
