Front wheel drive vehicles 
have a fuel tank capacity 
of 19.2 gallons (72.7 L) 
while all wheel drive vehicles 
have a fuel tank capacity of 
20.8 gallons (78.7L). Your 
vehicle is designed to use 
“Regular” unleaded gasoline 
with an octane rating of 87. 
Do not use gasoline labeled 
as “Regular” in high altitude 
areas 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
Check your tire pressure 
at least once a month and 
before long trips (including 
spare). The recommended 
specifications are on the 
Safety Certification Label 
or Tire Label located on 
the B-pillar or the edge 
of the driver’s door. As an 
added safety feature, your 
vehicle has a Tire Pressure 
monitoring System (TPmS) 
that illuminates a low tire 
pressure warning light when 
one or more of your tires is 
significantly under-inflated. 
Refer to the Tires, Wheels  
and Loading chapter in  
your Owner’s Guide for  
more information.

switch stops the electric fuel 
pump from sending fuel to 
your engine when your  
vehicle has sustained a  substantial jolt. This switch  
is located behind a panel on 
the left side of the cargo  
area. For more information, 
refer to the Roadside 
Emergencies chapter of  
your Owner’s Guide.

please refer to the Roadside 
Emergencies chapter in your 
Owner’s Guide.

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. Note: Visibility aids do 
not replace the need to watch 
where the vehicle is moving. 
Refer to your Owner’s Guide 
for safety information, more 
details and limitations.

enabling you to drive over 
terrain and road conditions 
that a conventional two-wheel 
drive vehicle cannot. Refer to 
your Owner’s Guide for more 
information. Note: If your 
vehicle is equipped with AWD, 
a spare tire of a different size 
(other than the tire provided) 
should never be used. Using

functioning and default to 
front wheel drive. Your
