gallon (58.5L) fuel
tank capacity. Use only
UNLEADED gasoline
blended with a maximum
of 15% ethanol and a
minimum octane rating
of 87. Do not use fuel
ethanol (E85), diesel,

fuel or any other fuel
because it could damage
or impair the emission
control system.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, you
simply open the fuel door,

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
do not work with the Easy
Fuel system and may cause
damage. Properly clean the
funnel after each use.Location of

load floor in the rear of your

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.
