Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†1 8
The indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator The TPMS indicator illuminates if it detects one or more tires is significantly under inflated, 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 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
Fuel Economy /
Tips for Economical Driving
There are several factors that 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:
•Use the climate control system less often Use the Driver Only* setting as much as possible
•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 vehicle
•Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
Refer to section 4 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information or snap the QR Code above to view a video
Images are for illustrative purposes only Actual image or feature may var y
REMINDERS:
•Check the recommended tire pressure label located on the left side of driver ’s door jamb, visible when the door is opened
•Consult your dealer for ser vice if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
•Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc ) may inter fere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
•Refer to section 6 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information

•Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month Only adjust tire pressure on “cold tires” that have been sit ting for 3 hours or more, and tires and 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
•A significant drop in temperature can cause tire inflation pressures to drop, which may activate the TMPS light Manually confirm tire pressures after significant changes in temperature or altitude
