Location of Spare Tire and Tools
Your spare tire and tools are under the carpeted wheel cover.
A dissimilar spare tire is designed for emergency use only and
should be replaced as soon as possible. For complete details
on changing your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of
your Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
When one or more of your tires are under-inflated, your
vehicle turns on the low tire pressure warning light
in the
instrument cluster. If this happens, stop and check your tires
as soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner’s Manual
for more information.
Rear 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.
Front and Rear Parking Aids
*
These systems sound audible warning tones if there is an
obstacle near the vehicle’s front or rear bumpers. As the
vehicle moves closer to the obstacle, the rate of the warning
tone increases in frequency.
The front sensors automatically turn on when the
transmission is in any position other than park (P) and the
vehicle is traveling at a low speed. The system can detect
objects up to 28 inches (70 centimeters) away from the front
of the vehicle. This range decreases at the outer corners.
The rear sensors are active only when the transmission
is in reverse (R) and can detect objects up to 6 feet (1.8
meters) away, with decreased coverage at the outer
corners of the bumper.
See the Parking Aids chapter in your Owner’s Manual for
complete information on your vehicle’s sensing systems.
Note:
Visibility aids do not replace the need to watch where
the vehicle is moving. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.

Fuel Tank Capacity and Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 15.7 gal (59.4 L) 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.
Refueling
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Fully open the fuel 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 positioning 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
funnel included with your vehicle. Using
an aftermarket 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
.
