SySTem 
With this system, you simply open the 
fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and 
begin fueling. Wait five seconds from 
the time the refueling nozzle is   
shut-off until the nozzle is pulled back 
out of the fill pipe to allow residual fuel 
in the nozzle to drain into the tank.   
This system is self-sealing and therefore 
protected against dust, dirt, water, 
snow and ice. To use a portable fuel 
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel 
(located in the spare tire compartment 
in your trunk), and pour the fuel into the 
funnel. 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.

your vehicle to remain stationary on a 
slope for up to two to three seconds 
after you release the brake pedal 
thereby giving you time to move your 
foot to the accelerator and pull away. 
This feature is activated automatically 
if the sensors detect that the vehicle is 
on a slope.
