Securing the Fuel Cap
If the Check Gas Cap message is dis-
played on the Driver Information Center
when the engine is running, check that
your fuel cap is securely fastened. If the
cap is not secure, turn it clockwise until
a clicking sound is heard, indicating that
it is properly installed.
The Check Gas Cap message will turn
off after a few driving trips with the cap
properly installed.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.
Tire Pressure
The Tire and Loading Information label
lists the proper size, speed rating and
recommended tire inflation pressure for
the tires on your vehicle. This label is
located on the driver’s doorjamb. Over-
inflated and underinflated tires affect fuel
economy and vehicle handling as well
as promote tire wear.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
Battery Location
The battery is located in the spare tire
well, under the load floor in the trunk.
Should it be necessary to jump-start your
vehicle, use the remote positive terminal
in the engine compartment. The nega-
tive cable can be connected to a heavy,
unpainted metal part of the vehicle.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
