Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)†2 4
The TPMS indicator functions as both Low Tire Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator A.
The indicator is designed to 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 Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator B is displayed on the LCD screen in the Instrument Cluster when the tire(s) is underinflated. Inflate tire(s), using an accurate digital tire pressure gauge, to specifications to turn off the Low Tire Pressure Position Indicator B; see the 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.
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 the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
•
Personal electronic devices (such as laptops, wireless chargers, remote star t systems, etc.) can inter fere with the TPMS system, which may cause the Malfunction Warning Indicator (Check Engine Light) to illuminate
(Indicator located on Instrument Cluster)
INSTRUMENT CLUSTERINSTRUMENT CLUSTER
•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 at least 20 minutes and are not hot 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 specification pressure during warm weather

•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
Instant Fuel Economy

COLLISION WARNING
EMERGENCY BRAKING
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA)†6
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, temporarily apply emergency braking. If FCA detects a potential collision, FCA emits an audible warning and visual alert on the instrument cluster A.
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 User Settings:

–Early: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
–Normal/Standard: This setting allows for a nominal amount of distance between the vehicles
before the initial warning occurs
–Late: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
–The default settings for Warning Timing is set to Normal. If the Warning Timing is changed, the warning time of other Driver Assistance systems may also change

When turned on, the instrument cluster indicator will initially illuminate white. It will remain white when the vehicle is traveling slower than 40 mph or when the system does not detect the lane markers. When the system detects the lane markers and can assist the steering, the LK A icon will illuminate green.
If LK A detects that you are moving outside of your lane, the system may give an audible warning and display a Lane Departure Warning on the instrument cluster. If the vehicle continues to move outside of the lane, LK A may provide steering inputs, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the Lane Safety button* A is depressed to ON (must be enabled in User Settings).
LKA User Settings:
