13 INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE
CONTROLLER* assists in smooth and effective
trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric or
electric over hydraulic brakes with a proportional
output based on the towing vehicle’s
brake pressure.
Use the GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or
decrease the braking feature’s power output to the
trailer. Adjust the GAIN by:
A. Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN – buttons
to increase or decrease the setting to the
desired starting point. A GAIN setting
of 6.0 is a good starting point for
heavier loads.
B. Testing the adjusted GAIN setting.
1. In a traffic-free environment, tow the
trailer on a dry, level surface at a speed of
20-25 mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the
manual control lever completely.
2. If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the trailer
wheels turn freely, increase the
GAIN setting.
3. The proper GAIN setting will be at the point
just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not
be attainable even with the maximum GAIN
setting of 10.
For more information, please refer to the Towing
chapter in your Owner’s Manual.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
Your vehicle’s fuel system allows you to
open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle
and start fueling. Wait 10 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.
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.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as
they will not work with the Easy Fuel system
and may cause damage.
FUEL TYPE AND FUEL TANK CAPACITY
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank
has a capacity of either 28 gallons (106L)
or 33.5 gallons (126.8L).
Use only UNLEADED gasoline blended
with a maximum of 15% ethanol and an 87
octane rating. Do not use E85 (ethanol),
diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any
other fuel because it could damage or
impair the emission control system.
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.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
that displays a low tire pressure warning
light when one or more of your tires are
significantly under-inflated. 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.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The temporary spare tire is located under
the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper.
The temporary spare is designed for
emergency use only and you should replace
it as soon as possible. The jack and tools are
in the access panel on the floor behind the
third-row seat. Make sure that you switch
off the deployable running boards* as well
as the automatic load leveling suspension
system* prior to jacking, hoisting or towing
your vehicle. For complete details on how
to change your tire, refer to the Wheels and
Tires chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
REAR WINDOW BUFFETING
You may hear a pulsing noise when one or
both of the rear windows are open. Lower a
front window slightly to reduce this noise.
