Essential Features
Refueling
When Fueling Your Vehicle
1. Put your vehicle in park (P) and
switch the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door. Slowly,
fully insert the fuel filler nozzle into
the fuel system. Leave the nozzle
inserted fully until you are done
pumping your fuel.
3. Wait at least 10 seconds before
removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into
the fuel tank.
Note:
When using a portable fuel
container, do not use aftermarket
funnels as they do not work with
the capless fuel system and may
cause damage. Instead, use the plastic
funnel included with your vehicle.
The fuel funnel is in the rear of the
vehicle, in the spare wheel storage
tray. Properly clean the funnel after
each use or dispose of it properly.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle has a feature that
automatically shuts down the engine
if it has been idling for an extended
period of time. The ignition also turns
off in order to save battery power. You
can override this feature temporarily
by pressing the brake or accelerator
pedal, or by pressing
OK

RESET
button on your information display.

Towing Your Vehicle
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or
any other vehicle may be limited. Refer
to
Towing the Vehicle on Four Wheels
section in the

for more information.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 18.0 gallon (68.1L) fuel tank. We recommend regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. To provide improved
performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe duty usage such as trailer
towing. Do not use ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that lights a low tire
pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your
tires are significantly under-inflated. 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.
