ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
18  •  19*if equipped
Tire Pressure  
Monitoring System 
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure 
warning light  in your instrument 
cluster when one or more of your tires 
are significantly under-inflated. If this 
happens, stop and check your tires as 
soon as possible, then inflate them to 
the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels 
and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual 
for more information.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon (46.9L) fuel tank capacity. 
If your vehicle has a yellow ring around the fuel inlet, you have  
a flex fuel vehicle and can use either regular unleaded fuel,  
E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture of the two.
Some tips to keep in mind with an E85 vehicle:
  •    It is best not to alternate repeatedly between gasoline and 
E85. If you do switch fuels, it is recommended that you add as 
much fuel as possible, at least half a tank. 
  •    Do not add less than 5 gallons (18.9L) when refueling. 
  •    You should drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at 
least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the 
change in ethanol concentration. 
  •    If you exclusively use E85 fuel, we recommend to fill the fuel tank  
with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
  •    Non-flex fuel vehicles use only UNLEADED fuel with a minimum  
octane rating of 87. Do not use fuel 
E20 - E85 ethanol (E85), diesel fuel, 
fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could  
damage or impair the emission control system. 
Location of Spare Tire and Tools 
Your spare tire and tools are under the carpeted floor panel in the rear of 
your vehicle. 
  •    The spare tire is designed for emergency use only. You should replace it 
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.
Easy Fuel® Sy s t e m
To use, p ut your 
vehicle into park 
(P) and switch 
the ignition 
off. Open the 
fuel-filler door. 
Insert the 
nozzle. Begin 
fueling. Wait at least 10 seconds 
before removing the fuel pump nozzle 
to allow any residual fuel to drain into 
the fuel tank. 
When using a portable fuel container, 
slowly insert the fuel funnel (located 
in the spare wheel storage tray) and 
pour the fuel into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels 
as they do not work with the Easy 
Fuel system and may cause damage. 
Properly clean or dispose of the funnel 
after each use.
Front and Rear Parking Aids*
Each 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 automatically 
activate when the vehicle is in  
any position other than park (P). 
  •   The reverse sensors activate 
automatically when the vehicle  
is in reverse (R). 
      •   See the Parking Aids chapter in 
your Owner’s Manual for complete 
information on your vehicle’s 
sensing systems.
Note: Visibility aids do not replace the 
need to watch where the vehicle is 
moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual 
for safety information, more details  
and limitations. 
SelectShift Automatic® 
Transmission*  
Gives you 
the ability to 
manually change

the + or – thumb 
toggle on the side of your gearshift 
lever or pull the + or – paddles on
