Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you open the fuel

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
