QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
EssENTI al INfOrma TION
Easy FuEl™ ‘no cap’ FuEl 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. 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 underside of the
spare tire cover or is included with the tire changing tools. 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 tank capacity Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank has a capacity of either
28 gallons (106L) or 33.5 gallons (126.8L). You have a Flex Fuel Vehicle. Flex Fuel vehicles have a
yellow ring around the top of the fuel filler inlet (tube) and can use either Regular unleaded fuel, E85
Ethanol Fuel or any mixture of the two.
tirE prEssurE 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 on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and before
long trips (including spare). As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a t ire
pressure monitoring system (tpms) that illuminates a low tire pressure warning light
when one
or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling
and can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control. Refer to the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide for more information.
location oF sparE tirE If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily. Instead,
gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the
side of the road. Your vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare tire located under the vehicle, just
forward of the rear bumper. The temporary spare is designed for emergency use only and should be
replaced as soon as possible. The jack and tools are located in the access panel on the floor behind
the 3rd row seat. The spare tire is not equipped with a TPMS sensor. For complete details on how to
change your tire, refer to the Roadside Emergencies chapter in your Owner’s Guide.
FusEs If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. For more
information about changing a fuse, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
FuEl pump shut-oFF switch After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel
pump shut-off switch may have to be reset. The switch is located in the left rear quarter trim panel,
near the liftgate, behind an access panel. For complete details on resetting the switch, please consult
your Owner’s Guide.
s.o.s. post crash alErt s ystEm Your vehicle is equipped with the S.O.S. Post Crash Alert system.
This system provides audible and visual alarms in the event of a crash which causes the deployment
of airbags or the activation of the safety belt pretensioners. The turn signals will flash and the horn
will sound. To deactivate the system, press the hazard flasher control, or you can press
on your
remote transmitter.
