Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a fuel tank capacity
of 13.5 gallons (51.1 liters). Use only
UNLEADED
fuel or
UNLEADED
fuel
blended with a maximum of 15% ethanol.
Do not use ethanol (E85), diesel,
fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or 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 km) to empty.
Hybrid Transmission
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.
Easy Fuel
®
System
Put your vehicle into
park (P) and switch
the ignition off. Open
the fuel release door.
Slowly insert the
fuel filler nozzle into
the fuel system, and leave the nozzle fully
inserted until you stop pumping fuel. Allow
about five to ten seconds after pumping
fuel before removing the fuel filler nozzle.
Slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle.
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
NOTE
When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel funnel
(located under the luggage compartment
floor covering), and pour the fuel into
the funnel. When done, clean the funnel
or properly dispose of it. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they do not work
with the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. You can purchase extra funnels
from your authorized dealer. Refer to the
Refueling section in the Fuel and Refueling
chapter of your Owner's Manual for
warnings and additional information.
Open Window Buffeting
You may hear a pulsing noise when just
one of the windows are open. Lower the
opposite window slightly to reduce
this noise.
