FUEL QUALITY
Choosing the Right Fuel
Your vehicle is designed to operate on
regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those in high
altitude areas, offer fuels posted as regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating
below 87. The use of these fuels could result
in engine damage that will not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. For best overall vehicle and engine
performance, premium fuel with an octane
rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The
performance gained by using premium fuel
is most noticeable in hot weather as well as
other conditions, for example when towing
a trailer. See Towing (page 315).
Do not be concerned if the engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if the
engine knocks heavily while using fuel with
the recommended octane rating, contact an
authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.
We recommend Top Tier detergent
gasolines, where available to help minimize
engine deposits and maintain optimal vehicle
and engine performance. For additional
information, refer to www.toptiergas.com.
Note: Use of any fuel for which the vehicle
was not designed can impair the emission
control system, cause loss of vehicle
performance, and cause damage to the
engine which may not be covered by the
vehicle Warranty. Do not use:
•
Diesel fuel.
• Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
• Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E85 fuel.
• Fuels containing methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic-based additives,
including manganese-based compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
• Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel is
prohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compounds
such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (commonly known as MMT), which
is a manganese-based fuel additive, will
impair engine performance and affect the
emission control system.
FUEL FILLER FUNNEL LOCATION
The fuel filler funnel is in the spare wheel
storage tray.

Note:
This only functions if your 12 volt
battery has power and the starter can spin
the engine. If vehicle battery voltage is not
sufficient, you may require an external 12
volt power source such as jumper cables,
battery charger or jump pack for this feature
to function.
Note: Once in this mode, maintain sufficient
battery voltage or your vehicle returns to
park. WARNING: When doing this
procedure, you need to take the
transmission out of park (P) which means
your vehicle can roll freely. To avoid
unwanted vehicle movement, always fully
apply the parking brake prior to doing this
procedure. Use wheels chocks if
appropriate.
1. Do not press the brake pedal. Press the Start/Stop button.
2. Fully press down on the brake pedal. Keep the brakes applied through step 7.
3. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor and hold through step 7. 4. Press the neutral (N) button on the
transmission selector.
5. Press the neutral (N) button again to enter Stay in Neutral mode.
6. Press and release the push to start button, the transmission needs a
minimum of 2 seconds to exit park.
7. When neutral (N) displays, you can release the brake and accelerator pedals.
To exit Stay in Neutral mode, select a
different gear.
A message appears in your information
display screen when your vehicle has
entered Stay in Neutral mode.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy. The overdrive
function allows automatic upshifts and
downshifts through gears one through ten. Adaptive Tow/Haul Mode WARNING:
Do not use tow/haul
when the road surface is slippery. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle.
Adaptive tow/haul has two modes, automatic
that is enabled by default and off.
To turn adaptive tow/haul off or on, use the
information display controls.
See General
Information (page 134). The indicator light
illuminates in the instrument cluster.
Key adaptive tow/haul features:
• The system remains in the same mode,
even after a key cycle.
• Is only available in normal drive modes
(Normal 2H and Normal 4A).
The adaptive tow/haul feature improves
transmission operation when towing a trailer
or a heavy load. All transmission gear ranges
are available when using adaptive tow/haul.

LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL (IF
EQUIPPED)
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD)
system directs torque, enabling the vehicle
to drive over terrain and road conditions that
a conventional axle cannot. The system is
active at all times and requires no input from
the driver.
Note: If your vehicle is not at optimal
operating conditions or a system fault is
present, a warning may be displayed in the
instrument cluster. Depending on the
warning, your vehicle may need to be
serviced. You can find more information
regarding the system information messages
in the Information Displays chapter.
See
Information Messages (page 139).
Spare Tire
If your vehicle has an Electronic Limited Slip
Differential, do not use a spare tire of a
different size than the tire provided. If a spare
tire is installed, a message may appear,
indicating the system has disabled
automatically or reduced function to prevent system overheat and damage. It is
recommended to reinstall the repaired or
replaced road tire as soon as possible. When
the road tire is replaced, the system will
resume normal operation on the next key
cycle.
Trailer Towing
The Electronic Limited Slip Differential
enhances vehicle stability during trailer tow
operation. During high demand trailering
events, such as steep slopes, high speeds
or with a spare tire, the system may provide
a warning in the instrument cluster and
reduce function or enter a temporarily
disabled state. To resume normal function,
stop the vehicle in a safe location and allow
the unit to adequately cool. Once the system
has reached normal operating temperatures,
system function will be restored and the
Electronic Limited Slip Differential Restored
message will be displayed.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in reverse
(R) and when using the sensing system. WARNING:
The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care and
attention. Failure to take care may result
in a crash. WARNING:
Traffic control systems,
inclement weather, air brakes, external
motors and fans may affect the correct
operation of the sensing system.This may
cause reduced performance or false alerts. WARNING:
The system may not
detect small or moving objects, particularly
those close to the ground. Note:
Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false beeps. For example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that may block the normal detection zone
of the system.
Note: Keep the sensors, located on the
bumper or fascia, free from snow, ice and
large accumulations of dirt. If the sensors
are covered, the system’ s accuracy can be
affected. Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: If your vehicle sustains damage to the
bumper or fascia, leaving it misaligned or
bent, the sensing zone may be altered
causing inaccurate measurement of
obstacles or false alarms. See your
authorized technician.
Note: When a trailer is connected to your
vehicle, the rear parking aid may detect the
trailer and therefore provide warnings.
Disable the rear parking aid when a trailer
is connected to prevent these warnings. Note:
The sensing system cannot be turned
off when a MyKey is present. See Principle
of Operation
(page 79).
We recommend that you take some time to
get to know the system and its limitations by
reading this section.
The sensing system warns the driver of
obstacles within a certain range of your
vehicle. The system automatically turns on
each time you switch the ignition on.
When receiving a detection warning, the
radio volume reduces to a predetermined
level. After the warning goes away, the radio
volume returns to the previous level. You can turn the system on or off
by pressing the parking aid button.
If your vehicle does not have a
parking aid button, the system can be
switched off through the information display
menu or from the pop-up message that
appears once you shift the transmission into
reverse (R).
See General Information (page
134).
