Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 14.0 gallon (53 liter)
fuel tank capacity. We recommend regular
unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2
octane rating of 87. To provide improved
performance, we recommend premium fuel
for severe duty usage such as trailer towing.
Use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel
blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol
and a minimum octane rating of 87.
Do not use any other fuel because it
could damage or impair the emission
control system.
Low Fuel Reminder
A low fuel reminder triggers when the
distance to empty is about 50 miles
(80 kilometers).
Open Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing noise when just one
of the windows is open. Lower the opposite
window slightly to reduce this noise.
Refueling
When refueling your vehicle:
1. Place your vehicle in
park (P) and make
sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Press the
button to open the fuel
filler door.
3. Insert the fuel filler nozzle into the fuel
system up to the first notch, and leave
the nozzle inserted and resting against
the cover of the fuel tank until you are
done pumping.
4. Make sure you keep the fuel pump
nozzle in a level position when
refueling or it may impact the flow of
the fuel. Improper position can also
cause the fuel pump to shut off before
the fuel tank is full.
5. When you finish refueling, slowly raise
and remove the fuel pump nozzle. Fully
close the fuel door.
If you are refilling your tank from a fuel
container, make sure you use the fuel filler
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
funnel included with your vehicle. Using an
after market funnel may not work with the
capless system and could cause damage
to your vehicle. For more information and
for your fuel filler funnel location, please
see the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your
Owner's Manual.
NOTE:
Make sure you close the fuel door
securely after refueling. If the fuel door
remains open and the vehicle is driven, the
check engine light
in the instrument
cluster may come on. Please see your
Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Transmission Operation
Your hybrid’s transmission is designed to
do its work seamlessly, so you may not feel
shift changes as you normally would in a
gasoline-powered vehicle.
You may feel the transition when the system
changes from Electric Vehicle (EV) mode to
gas mode. This is normal. Since your engine
speed is controlled by the transmission, it
may seem elevated at times. This is also
normal hybrid operation as it helps deliver
fuel efficiency and performance.
