fuel efficiency, including
maintenance of your vehicle,
driving style, environmental
conditions, vehicle weight
and vehicle aerodynamics
Below are tips on how to help
improve fuel efficiency:
• 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
REMINDER: Driving range will vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size, e g 12-gal vs 24-gal , even though the MPG may be the same

REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)
www.KuTechVideos.com/xm14/2014
www.KuTechVideos.com/xm14/2014
The indicator functions as both Low Tire
Pressure Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator
The TPMS indicator will illuminate if: one or more
tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has a
spare tire without TPMS or the outside temperature
becomes significantly colder
• Inflate tire(s) to specifications to turn off Low Tire
Pressure Light using an accurate digital tire
pressure gauge See front driver’s door jamb for
PSI specification
• The TPMS Malfunction Indicator will illuminate
after it blinks for approximately one minute when
there is a problem with the TPMS 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”
• For proper maintenance, safety, 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
