EASy FuELTM ‘NO CAP’ FuEL FILLER SySTEM
Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which allows you to simply open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start fueling. Wait five seconds from the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off until the nozzle is pulled back out of the fill pipe to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. The Easy Fuel™ System is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. If you need to fill your fuel tank with a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel which is attached to the rear of the spare tire compartment. Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel™ system and fill the tank with fuel from the container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased from your authorized dealer. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel™ system and may cause damage.
FuEL TyPE AND T ANk CAPACITy
Your vehicle has a 19 gallon (71.9L) fuel tank capacity. Your vehicle will run normally on 87 Octane Unleaded Regular fuel without damaging the engine, but Premium Unleaded fuel is recommended for best overall performance. Do not use gasoline labeled as “Regular” in high altitude areas that are sold 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 MONITORINg SySTEM
Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the recommended specifications found on the Safety Compliance 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 been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
warning lightwhen 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.
FuSES
If the vehicle’s electrical components are not operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse panel is located below the instrument panel on the driver’s side and additional fuses are located in the power distribution box in the engine compartment.
