EASY FUEL® SYSTE M
With this system, 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 10 seconds from
the time the refueling nozzle shuts off until you remove the
nozzle from the vehicle. This wait time allows 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.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has an 18.6 gallon (70.4L) 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.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle displays a low tire pressure warning light in your instrument cluster if 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
Your spare tire and tools are beneath the third-row seats under the flo\
or panel. You must unstow the
seats to access. We designed the spare tire for emergency use only and strongly advise you\
to replace
it as soon as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.

as safety information and the proper equipment to use
while towing.
Note: Do not tow with the mini spare tire installed or
exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
Safety Compliance Certification Label.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL *
This system helps to reduce trailer sway while towing, by
applying brake force to individual wheels and, if necessary,
reducing engine power. If the trailer does begin to sway,
Trailer Sway Reduce Speed appears in the information
display. Safely pull to the side of the road and check that
your equipment is properly secured.

hear a wind throb or buffeting noise. To alleviate this, lower
a front window until the noise subsides.
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION
We designed your vehicle for improved fuel economy by
reducing fuel usage while you coast or decelerate. You may
perceive a light to medium braking sensation when you
remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
SOS POST-CRASH ALERT SYSTEM™

the horn (intermittently) in the event of a serious impact that
deploys an airbag equipped on your vehicle.
