Hybrid Transmission
Due to the technologically advanced, electronically
controlled, continuously variable transaxle, you may
not feel shift changes like those of a non-hybrid
vehicle. Since the transmission controls your engine
speed, the engine speed may seem elevated at
times. This is normal hybrid operation, as it helps
deliver fuel efficiency and performance.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle’s fuel tank capacity is 13.5 gallons
(51.1L). Use only “Regular” unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 or higher.
Do not use E85 fuels
because your vehicle was not designed to run on
fuels with more than 15% ethanol
.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System)
with Cross Traffic Alert
BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have
entered into your blind spot area on both sides of
the vehicle, extending rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 10 feet (3 meters) beyond
the bumper. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles
approaching from the sides when the transmission is
in reverse (R). It detects approaching vehicles from
approximately 45 feet (14 meters) away.
Note:
NEVER use BLIS or cross traffic alert as a
replacement for using the interior and exterior
mirrors and looking over your shoulder before
changing lanes. The systems are not replacements
for careful driving. Use both systems only as
an assist.
Temporary Mobility Kit
The kit is under the load floor of the luggage
compartment. The kit consists of an air compressor
to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound in a
canister that effectively seals most punctures caused
by nails or similar objects. The canister contains
only enough sealant compound for one tire. See
an authorized dealer for a replacement sealant
canister after each use.
This kit provides a temporary tire repair seal,
allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles
(200 kilometers) at a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) to reach a tire service location.
Note:
After sealant use, the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor and valve stem on the wheel must be
replaced by an authorized dealer. For more details,
refer to the
Wheels and Tires
chapter of your
Owner’s Manual
.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle 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
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
section
in the
Wheels and Tires
chapter of your
Owner’s
Manual
for more information.
Essential Information
Easy Fuel® System
When refueling your vehicle:
1. Put your vehicle in park (P) and switch
the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door and slowly
insert the fuel filler nozzle fully into the
fuel system.
3. 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.
This allows residual fuel to drain back into the fuel tank and not spill onto
the vehicle.
4. Slowly remove the fuel filler nozzle and close the fuel filler door.
Note:
When filling your vehicle’s fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use
the funnel included with the vehicle. Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do
not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly clean the
funnel after each use, or dispose of it properly.
