ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
eaSy fueL® SySTem
Your vehicle’s fuel system allows you to
simply open the fuel filler door, insert the
nozzle and start fueling. Wait 10 seconds
from the time the refueling nozzle is shut off
until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle
to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain
into the tank.
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 underside of the spare tire cover or
is included with the tire changing tools.
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.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they
will not work with the Easy Fuel
® system and
may cause damage.
fueL TyPe and fueL Tank caP aciTy
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank
has a capacity of either 28 gallons (106L)
or 33.5 gallons (126.8L). Flex Fuel vehicles
have a yellow ring around the top of the fuel
filler inlet (tube) and can use either Regular
unleaded fuel, E85 Ethanol fuel or any
mixture of the two. It is best not to alternate repeatedly
between gasoline and E85. If you do switch
fuels, it is recommended that you add
as much fuel as possible—at least half
a tank. Do not add less than five gallons
(18.9L) when refueling. You should drive
the vehicle immediately after refueling
for at least 5 miles (8 km) to allow the
vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol
concentration. If you exclusively use E85
fuel, it is recommended to fill the fuel tank
with regular unleaded gasoline at each
scheduled oil change.
fueL-efficienT TranSmiSSion
Your vehicle has been designed to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
while coasting or decelerating. This may
be perceived as a light to medium braking
sensation when removing your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
rear window BuffeTing
When one or both of your rear windows are
open, you may hear a wind throb or buffeting
noise. To alleviate this, simply lower a front
window until the buffeting subsides.
Tire PreSSure moniToring SySTem
Your vehicle is 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. If this happens, stop and check your
tires as soon as possible. Inflate them to the
proper pressure. Refer to the Inflating Your
Tires section in the Wheels and Tires chapter
of your Owner’s Manual for more information.
