Essential Features
Electric Parking Brake
The operating switch replaces the
conventional handbrake, and is to the left of the
steering column. To use, pull the switch. The
brake system warning lamp will light to confirm
that you applied the electric parking brake. You
can release the electric parking brake manually
by switching the ignition on, pressing the brake pedal and then
pressing the electric parking brake switch. Refer to the Brakes
chapter of your Owner’s Manual for more details.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you open the fuel
door, insert the nozzle and begin
fueling. It is self-sealing and therefore
protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. Wait 5 to 10 seconds
from the time the refueling nozzle is
shut-off until you remove the nozzle
from the vehicle to allow residual fuel
in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
When using a portable fuel container,
slowly insert the fuel funnel in the
rear of the vehicle, inside the load
compartment, underneath the load
floor carpet and pour the fuel into
the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they will not work with
the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. Properly clean the funnel
after each use.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts down
the engine if it has been idling for an
extended period of time. The ignition
also turns off in order to save battery
power. You can override this feature
temporarily by pressing the brake or
accelerator pedal, or by pressing OK
or the RESET button in your information
display. Refer to the Information
Displays chapter of your Owner’s
Manual for more details.
Towing Your Vehicle
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or
any other vehicle may be limited. Refer
to Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels
section in the Towing chapter of your
Owner’s Manual for more information.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 15.5 gallon (58.5L) fuel tank. Use only UNLEADED ga\
soline
with an 87 octane rating. Do not use ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-metha\
nol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emis\
sion
control system.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that lights a low tire\

pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of yo\
ur
tires are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires
as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating
Your Tires section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are located beneath the carpeted load floor in the rear of your
vehicle. The spare tire is designed for emergency use only and should be replac\
ed as soon
as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Fuel-efficient Transmission
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel u\
sage while
coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to medium bra\
king sensation when
removing your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Rear Window Buffeting
When just one of the windows is open, you may hear a pulsing noise. Lower the
opposite window until the noise subsides.
