Towing Your Escape 
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.
Tire Pressure 
Monitoring System 
Your vehicle illuminates a 
low tire pressure warning 
light
  in your instrument 
cluster when one or more 
of your tires are significantly 
underinflated. 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.
Fuel-efficient 
Transmission
Your vehicle has been 
designed to improve fuel 
economy by reducing fuel 
usage while coasting or 
decelerating. This may 
be perceived as a light to 
medium braking sensation 
when removing your foot 
from the accelerator pedal.
Rear Window Buffeting 
You may hear a pulsing 
noise when just one of the 
windows is open. Lower the 
opposite window slightly to 
reduce this noise. Press the 
switch to open the window. 
Lift the switch to close  
the window.
Front and Rear 
Sensing System*
This system sounds an 
audible warning tone if 
there is an obstacle near 
the vehicle’s front or rear 
bumpers. As the vehicle 
moves closer to the 
obstacle, the rate of the 
warning tone increases 
in frequency. The front 
sensors are automatically 
activated when the vehicle 
is in D  (Drive) and the 
vehicle speed is below  
6 mph (10 km/h). The 
system will detect objects 
up to 27 inches (70 cm) 
away from the front of the 
vehicle and about 14 inches 
(35 cm) to the side of the 
front end. The rear sensors 
are active only when the 
Essential Information continued 
Fuel Tank Capacity/
Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 15.4 
gallon (58.5L) fuel tank 
capacity. If your vehicle is 
not	a	flexible	fuel	vehicle, 	
then only use unleaded fuel 
or unleaded fuel blended 
with	a	maximum	of	15%	
ethanol. Do not use fuel 
ethanol (E85), diesel, 
fuel-methanol, leaded 
fuel or any other fuel 
because it could damage 
or impair the emission 
control system. 
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you 
simply 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 5–10 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 
(located in the spare tire 
compartment), 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.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 replaced 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. 
SOS Post-Crash  
Alert SystemTM 
Provides audible and visual 
alarms when a crash causes 
the deployment of an airbag 
or the activation of the 
safety belt pretensioners. 
The turn signals will flash 
and the horn will sound.  
To deactivate, press the 
hazard flasher control or  
the panic button
  on  
your remote transmitter.
