TIRE SERVICE KIT STORAGE
The Tire Service Kit is located in the rear storage compartment inside a storage
container. Located inside the container are a screwdriver and the emergency fuel
funnel. To access the Tire Service Kit open the lift gate and remove the load floor.
Tire Service Kit
If a tire is punctured, you can make a first
emergency repair using the Tire Service
Kit located in the rear storage compart-
ment inside the storage container.
Tire punctures of up to 1/4” (6 mm) can
be repaired; the kit can be used in all
weather conditions. Do not remove the
foreign object from the punctured tire,
i.e., screw or nail.
Remove the Tire Service Kit from the
vehicle, take it out from the bag and
place it near the punctured tire. Screw
the clear flexible filling tube to the tire
valve.Tire Service Kit Components

3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is
STOP/OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump-starting procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system
of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the positive(+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive(+)jumper cable to the positive(+)post
of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative(-)end of the jumper cable to the negative(-)post of the
booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative(-)jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and
the fuel injection system.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the discharged battery.
The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result
in serious injury. Only use the specific ground point, do not use any other exposed
metal parts.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to
“Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” in your Owner’s Manual or
applicable supplement on the DVD for further details.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil
change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will
illuminate in the instrument cluster. This means that service is required for your
vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil
Change Required” message is displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the
change oil message to illuminate as early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).

ADDING FUEL
The Capless Fuel System uses a flapper placed at the filler pipe of the fuel tank; it
opens and closes automatically upon insertion/extraction of the fuel nozzle.
The Capless Fuel System is designed so that it prevents the filling of an incorrect type
of fuel.
Opening The Door
For filling proceed as follows:
• Open the door, by pushing and releasing on the indentation point indicated by the
arrow.
• Insert the fuel nozzle in the filler pipe
and proceed with filling the fuel tank.
• Before removing the nozzle, wait at
least 10 seconds to allow the fuel to
flow inside of the tank.
• Pull the nozzle from the filler pipe and
then close the door.
Emergency Refueling Procedure
If the vehicle is out of fuel proceed as
follows:
• Open the liftgate and remove the
emergency fuel fill funnel located in
the cargo area.
• Open the fuel door.
• Insert the emergency fuel fill funnel in the filler pipe and proceed to fill the fuel
tank.
• Remove the emergency fuel fill fun-
nel, and close the door.
• Store the emergency fuel fill funnel in
the cargo area.

WARNING!
• Do not to affix objects/plugs to the end of the filler neck other than is provided
on the car.
• The use of objects/plugs do not comply with the vehicle and may cause
pressure increases inside the tank, creating dangerous conditions.
• Do not approach the neck of the tank with open flames or lit cigarettes its an
extreme fire hazard. Also, avoid close contact with the filler pipe with your face,
do not inhale harmful vapors.
• Do not use your mobile phone in the vicinity of the pump fuel nozzle, it can be
a possible risk of fire.
TIRE PRESSURES
Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire (if equipped), at
least monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading
Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD
for more information regarding tire warn-
ings and instructions.
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-
inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire
inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
