options. This lets your phone find
SYNC. If you need more details on
setting up your phone with SYNC,
visit syncmyride.com, or your phone
manufacturer’s website.

Your media hub is located in your center console. The
media hub includes two USB ports, an SD card slot and
RCA connections. Use them to access digital media such as
MP3s, gaming systems, cameras and phones. It’s never been
easier to control what you listen to. Plug in your compatible
digital music player, USB drive or SD card and SYNC will do
the rest. Browse your music collection however you’d prefer,
by genre, album, artist, playlist and song title using voice

Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle illuminates a
low tire pressure warning
light
in your instrument
cluster when one or more
of your tires is 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
When one or both of your
rear windows are open,
you may hear a wind throb
or buffeting noise. To
alleviate this, simply lower
a front window until the
buffeting subsides.
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 6-14
inches (15-35 cm) to the
side of the front end. The
rear sensors are activated
automatically when the
vehicle is in R (Reverse),
and will detect objects
up to 6 feet (2 m) away,
with decreased coverage
at the outer corners). See
the Parking Aids chapter
in your Owner’s Manual for
Essential information continued
Fuel Tank Capacity/
Fuel info
Your vehicle has a 15.1
gallon (57L) fuel tank
capacity. Use only “Regular”
unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 or higher.
Do not use E85 fuels
because your vehicle was
not designed to run
on fuels with more than
15% ethanol.
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 five 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.

unique downshift schedule
is utilized to keep the
transmission in lower gears
for enhanced performance
and more aggressive engine
braking. When the vehicle is
in (S) Sport mode, manual
gear selection is enabled

on the side of the gearshift
lever. Press (+) to upshift,
press (–) to downshift.
Return the gearshift lever

to help you determine if a
vehicle may be in your blind
spot zone. The CTA feature
alerts you if a car is coming
toward you when you are
backing out of a parking
space. BLIS and CTA will
display a yellow indicator
light in your exterior mirrors
and the CTA will also sound
tones and display messages
to warn you from which
direction vehicles are
approaching. Refer to
the Driving Aids chapter in

the stalk upward to
position 1.
• Normal wipe - Raise the
stalk upward to position 2.
• High speed wipe -
Raise the stalk to its

Intermittent Wipe
Putting the wiper stalk in
intermittent mode allows
the driver to set the amount
of time between wipes.
Use the rotary control on the wiper stalk to adjust the
intermittent wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control upward
for short wipe intervals.
• Rotate the control downward
for long wipe intervals.
Speed Dependent
Wipers
When your vehicle speed
increases, the interval
between wipes will decrease.
Auto Wipers*
The wipers function when
moisture is detected on the

• Low sensitivity - the wipers
will automatically operate
when the sensor detects a
large amount of moisture
on the windshield.
• High sensitivity - The
wipers will automatically
operate when the sensor detects a small
amount of moisture
on the windshield.
Note: In order for the sensors
to operate properly, keep the
outside of the windshield
clean. Dirt, bugs and
excessive road debris can
cover the sensor and prevent
it from detecting rain.
To reduce smearing, we
recommend the following: • Lower the sensitivity of
the autowipers.
