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.

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)

approaching vehicle in the driver’s blind spot before changing lanes . The light
on the BCW button A will illuminate when turned ON . The outside rearview
mirror warning lights will also illuminate for 3 seconds .
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than
approximately 18 mph and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected
by the radar sensor .
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) / Lane Change Assist (LCA)
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BCW boundary B,
or when a vehicle is detected within the LCA boundary C, a yellow indicator
will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors .
2nd-stage alert: When 1st-stage alert is on and the driver activates a turn signal,
a flashing yellow indicator will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors and the
system will sound an alert .
