therefore protected against dust, dirt,
water, snow and ice. To use a portable
fuel container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (attached to the underside of the
spare tire cover or included with the tire
changing tools), and pour the fuel into
the funnel. 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. 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.

system (tpms) that illuminates a low
tire pressure warning light when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-
inflated. Refer to the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide
