LEGAL DISCLAIMERS (See Back Inside Cover Page)
*IF EQUIPPED SOUL  FE ATURES & FUNCTIONS GUIDE
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.

The indicator  functions as both Low Tire Pressure 
Light and TPMS Malfunction Indicator  
The TPMS indicator illuminates if one or more tires is 
significantly under inflated, the vehicle has a spare tire 
installed without TPMS or the outside temperature becomes 
significantly lower    
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 and then 
illuminate - See dealer for service 
REMINDER: Consult your dealer for service if the Low Tire Pressure Light remains illuminated after inflating your tire(s)  
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)   
 • 
 •Even with TPMS, tire pressure should be checked manually at least once a month  Only adjust Tire Pressure on “cold tires”  •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
Fuel Economy
There are several factors that contribute to your 
vehicle’s fuel economy, including 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 vehicle 
• Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks 
• Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
REMINDER: Driving range varies depending on a vehicle’s fuel tank size, e g , 12-gal  vs  24-gal   Even though the two vehicles, MPG may be the same, the vehicle with the larger tank will have the greater range
