Essential Information

EASY FUEL
FILLER SYSTEM

Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system
which allows you to simply press open the
fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start
fueling. Wait five seconds from the time the
refueling nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle
is pulled back out of the fill pipe to allow
residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the
tank. The Easy Fuel™ system is self-sealing
and therefore protected against dust, dirt,
water, snow and ice. If you need to fill your
fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use
the fuel funnel which is attached to the rear
of the spare tire compartment. Slowly insert
the funnel into the Easy Fuel™ system and
fill the tank with fuel from the container.
When done, clean the funnel or properly
dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel™ system and may

cause damage.

FUEL TYPE AND TANK CAPACITY

Your vehicle has a 19 gallon (71.9L) fuel tank
capacity. Your vehicle will run normally on
87 octane unleaded regular fuel without
damaging the engine, but Premium
Unleaded fuel is recommended for best
overall performance. Do not use gasoline
labeled as “Regular” in high altitude areas
that are sold with octane ratings less than

87. Do not use E85 fuels because your
vehicle was not designed to run on fuels
with more than 10% ethanol.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

Your tire pressure is properly set at the
dealership according to the recommended
specifications found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or Tire
Label located on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver’s door. Check your tire pressure
at least once a month and before long
trips (including spare). As an added safety
feature, your vehicle has been equipped
with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure

cover. For complete details on how to
change your tire, refer to the Roadside
Emergencies chapter in your Owner’s Guide.

Forward and Reverse Sensing Systems

Your vehicle is equipped with a forward and
reverse sensing system. These systems can
warn you if there is an object in front of or
behind the vehicle. The system will sound
a warning tone that increases in frequency
as the object gets closer and will sound
continuously when the object is less than
10 inches away. The forward sensing system
is automatically activated when the vehicle
is in D (Drive) and is traveling under 8 mph
(13 km/h). The reverse sensing system is
automatically activated when the vehicle is
in R (Reverse) and is moving under 3 mph (5

light which will appear above the dash. If
the risk of collision increases, the system
will increase brake support to help reduce
collision speed. Note: Driving aids do not
