EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened.
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no
data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g. name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded. However, other parties, such
as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally
identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties
such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information
if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
CAP-LESS FUEL FILL FUNNEL
The funnel for the Cap-Less Fuel System is located on top of the spare tire. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and an auxiliary fuel can is needed, insert the funnel into the
filler neck and proceed to fill the vehicle.

OPENING THE HOOD
1. Pull the hood release lever located
below the steering wheel at the base
of the instrument panel.
2. Reach into the opening beneath the
center of the hood and move the
safety latch lever while lifting the
hood at the same time.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully

ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release switch (located under the headlamp switch).
2. Open the fuel filler door.

vent the fuel door from opening. If this
occurs, lightly push on the fuel door to
break the ice buildup and re-release the
fuel door using the inside release button.
Do not pry on the door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper
door inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the
filler pipe, the nozzle opens and holds
the flapper door while refueling.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel, when the
fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the
fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the
fuel door.
Fuel Door Emergency Release
•To manually open the fuel door, remove
the storage bin located in the rear cargo
area and pull the release cable located
in the storage bin opening.
