compartment, underneath the load
floor carpet and pour the fuel into
the funnel.

nol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emis\
sion
control system.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System

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.
