WARNING!
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, and odorless gas. It is prese\
nt in all exhaust gases. If you ever smell exhaust
fumes inside the vehicle, make sure the passenger compartment is ventila\
ted, and immediately return the vehicle to your
retailer for correction.
pg. 116 Starting and driving
Fuel requirements
WARNING!
Driving with the tailgate open: Driving with the tailgate open could lead to poisonous exhaust gases e\
ntering the
passenger compartment. If the tailgate must be kept open for any reason,\
proceed as follows:
l Close the windows
l Set the ventilation system control to air flow to floor, windshield and \
side windows and blower control to its highest
setting.
Weight distribution affects handling
At the specified curb weight your vehicle has a tendency to understeer, \
which means that the steering wheel has to be
turned more than might seem appropriate for the curvature of a bend. Thi\
s ensures good stability and reduces the risk of
rear wheel skid. Remember that these properties can alter with the vehic\
le load. The heavier the load in the cargo area, the
less the tendency to understeer.
Handling, roadholding
Vehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure all affect vehicle hand\
ling. Therefore, check that the tires are inflated to the
recommended pressure according to the vehicle load. See "Tire pressure" \
section. Loads should be distributed so that
capacity weight or maximum permissible axle loads are not exceeded.
Conserving electrical current
Keep the following in mind to help minimize battery drain:
l When the engine is not running, avoid turning the ignition key to positi\
on II (see page 121). Many electrical systems
(the audio system, the optional infotainment/ navigation systems, power\
windows, etc) will function with the ignition key
in position I. This position reduces drain on the battery.
l Please keep in mind that using systems, accessories, etc that consume a \
great deal of current when the engine is not
running could result in the battery being completely drained.
NOTE: A warning message will be displayed in the text window in the instrumen\
t panel when the battery charge is low.

Fuel filler door
Press the button on the light switch panel (see illustration on
page 56) when the vehicle is at a standstill to unlock the fuel
filler door. Please note that the fuel filler door will remain unlocked \
until the vehicle begins to move forward. An audible
click will be heard when the fuel filler door relocks.
If you intend to leave your vehicle while it is being refueled, this fea\
ture enables you to lock the doors/tailgate while
leaving the fuel filler door unlocked.
You can also keep the vehicle locked if you remain inside it during refu\
eling. The central locking button does not lock the
fuel filler door. Be sure the fuel filler door is not obstructed and is \
completely closed after refueling.
Open the fuel filler cap slowly during hot weather.
NOTE: During a transitional period, a small number of service stations may st\
ill have fuel nozzles that are not compatible
with the fuel filler neck on vehicles equipped with the evaporative cont\
rol system.
Refueling
The fuel tank holds approximately 21.1 US gals. (80 liters) with suffi\
cient volume left over to accommodate possible
expansion of the fuel in hot weather. Be aware that the "usable" tank ca\
pacity will be somewhat less than the specified
maximum. When the fuel level is low, such factors as ambient temperature\
, the fuel's "Reid vapor pressure"
characteristics, and terrain can affect the fuel pump's ability to suppl\
y the engine with an adequate supply of fuel.
Therefore, it is advisable to refuel as soon as possible when the needle\
nears the red zone, or when the fuel warning light
comes on.
WARNING!
Never carry a cell phone that is switched on while refueling your vehicle. If the phone rings, this may cause a spar\
k that
could ignite gasoline fumes, resulting in fire and injury.
