Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel info
Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon (46.9
liter) fuel tank capacity. Your vehicle
may be flex-fuel capable. If so, it will
have a yellow ring around the fuel
inlet. Flex fuel vehicles are designed
to use ETHANOL (E85) fuel blends
and UNLEADED FUEL. Please see your
Owner’s Manual for specific refueling
instructions when using E85.
Non-flex fuel
vehicles use only
UNLEADED fuel
with an octane
rating of 87. Do
not use fuel
ethanol (E85),
diesel fuel, fuel-methanol, leaded
fuel or any other fuel because
it could damage or impair the
emission control system.
Easy Fuel® Sy s t e m
To use:
• Open the fuel door
• Insert the nozzle
• Begin fueling.
• Wait 10 seconds between 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.
• When using a portable fuel
container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (located in the spare tire
compartment) and pour the fuel
into the funnel.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels
as they will not work with the Easy
Fuel system and may cause damage.
Properly clean the funnel after each use.
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System
Your vehicle illuminates a low tire
pressure warning light in your
instrument cluster when one or
more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. If this happens, stop
and check your tires as soon as
possible, then 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.
