maintenance of your vehicle,
driving style, environmental
conditions, vehicle weight
and vehicle aerodynamics
Below are 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
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
For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR Codeabove to view a video or refer to the brochure, “Getting More OutOf Every Gallon, Fuel-Saving Tips To Drive By” available at your localdealership.

tires is significantly underinflated, the vehicle has
a spare tire installed without TPMS or the outside
temperature becomes significantly colder
Inflate tire(s) to specifications to turn off Low Tire
Pressure Light by using an accurate digital tire
pressure gauge See driver’s door jamb for PSI

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers It is a good
idea to keep the ESC turned on for daily driving
whenever possible
Press ESC button A to turn ESC OFF/ON
REMINDER: ESC is turned ON at vehicle start-up
REMINDER: The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily whenever the ESC is active
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when accelerating from a stop
while on a steep incline
The HAC automatically activates whether
the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
• When HAC is active (e g , during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator
• HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards
QUICK TIPS
Blind Spot Detection
(BS D) System*
The system uses a radar sensor to help
alert the driver while driving The BSD
indicator on the button B will illuminate
when turned ON
The system will become active when
the vehicle is traveling more than 19
mph and will alert the driver when
another vehicle is detected by the
radar sensor
1st stage alert: When another vehicle
is detected within the BSD System
boundary, a yellow light will illuminate on
the outside rearview mirrors
2nd stage alert: When 1st stage alert
is on and a turn signal is turned on, the
2nd-stage alert will sound
