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.
Pairing your phone with SYNC:

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

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.
