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 in ated 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
REMINDER: Do not turn the vehicle off by pushing the POWER
button while the vehicle is in motion. If the vehicle has been turned
off the power brake and power steering system cannot operate.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System \fTPMS)
Energy Consumption
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 in ation 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 in ation
pressure during warm weather
