ALWAYS CHECK THE OWNER’S MANUAL FOR COMPLETE OPERATING INFORMATION AND SAFETY WARNINGS. 

*IF EQUIPPED 

Fuel Economy

Several factors 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 improve fuel economy:

REMINDERS: 

 

 Driving range can vary depending on your vehicle’s fuel tank size, e .g . 12-gal . vs . 24-gal ., even though the MPG may be the same

 

See Owner's Manual for safety information

For more information on Fuel Economy, you can snap the QR code above to view a video or refer to the brochure 

“GETTING MORE OUT OF EVERY GALLON, FUEL-SAVING TIPS TO DRIVE BY” available at your local dealership.

 

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

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 installed 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

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

REMINDER: 

Consult your dealer for service if Low Tire Pressure Light remains 

illuminated after inflating your tire(s) .

 

 

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
