TM ‘NO CAP’ FuEL

FILLER SySTEM
Your vehicle has a ‘no cap’ fuel system which
allows you to simply open the fuel filler
door, insert the nozzle and start fueling.
The Easy Fuel™ System is self-sealing and
therefore protected against dust, dirt, water,
snow and ice. If you need to fill your fuel
tank with a portable fuel container, use the
fuel funnel which is attached to the rear of
the spare tire compartment. Slowly insert
the funnel into the Easy Fuel™ system and
fill the tank with fuel from the container.
When done, clean the funnel or properly
dispose of it. Extra funnels can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel™ system and may
cause damage.
FuEL TyPE AND T ANk CAPACITy
Front wheel drive vehicles have a 20 gallon
(75.7 L) fuel tank capacity while All Wheel
Drive vehicles have a 19 gallon (71.9L) fuel
tank capacity. Your vehicle will run normally
on 87 Octane Unleaded Regular fuel
without damaging the engine, but Premium
Unleaded fuel is recommended for best
overall performance. Do not use gasoline
labeled as “Regular” in high altitude areas
that are sold with Octane ratings less than
87. Your vehicle was not designed to run on
E85 fuels that are blended with a maximum
of 85% ethanol.
TIRE PRESSuRE MONITORINg SySTEM
Your tire pressure is properly set at the
dealership according to the recommended
specifications found on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label or Tire Label
located on the on the B-Pillar or the edge
of the driver’s door. Check your tire pressure
at least once a month and before long
trips (including spare, if equipped). As an
added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure warning light when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Warning: Improperly inflated tires can

affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Refer to the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter in your Owner’s Guide for
more information.
FuSES
If the vehicle’s electrical components are not
operating, a fuse may have blown. The fuse
panel is located below the instrument panel
on the driver’s side and additional fuses are
located in the power distribution box in the
engine compartment. For more information,
please refer to the Roadside Emergencies
chapter of your Owner’s Guide.
CHANgINg THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road. Your vehicle is
equipped with a temporary spare tire. The
temporary spare is designed for emergency
use only. Replace this tire with a full-size tire
as soon as possible. The spare tire and jack
are located under the trunk cargo cover.
For complete details on how to change
your tire, refer to the Roadside Emergencies
chapter in your Owner’s Guide.
