from the vehicle to allow residual fuel
in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
When using a portable fuel container,
slowly insert the fuel funnel in the
rear of the vehicle, inside the load
compartment, underneath the load
floor carpet and pour the fuel into
the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket
funnels as they will not work with
the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. Properly clean the funnel
after each use.

feature that automatically shuts down
the engine if it has been idling for an
extended period of time. The ignition

nol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emis\
sion
control system.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that lights a low tire\

pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of yo\
ur
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

ed as soon
as possible. For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual.
Fuel-efficient Transmission
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel u\
sage while
coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to medium bra\
king sensation when
removing your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Rear Window Buffeting
When just one of the windows is open, you may hear a pulsing noise. Lower the
opposite window until the noise subsides.
