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  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.

Fuel Economy
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: 
 
• 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 vehicles
 
• 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.
 
 
•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 at 
least 20 minutes 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
 
•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 TIPS
REMINDERS: 
•  Chec k 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 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

purposes only. Actual image on
