Introduction

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNINGS
Do not overfill the fuel tank. The
pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel
spray and fire. The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler door (Easy
Fuel capless fuel system), do not
refuel until the sound stops.
Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which
could cause serious personal injury. Automotive fuels can cause
serious injury or death if misused
or mishandled. The flow of fuel through a fuel
pump nozzle can produce static
electricity, which can cause a fire if
fuel is pumped into an ungrounded
fuel container. Fuel ethanol and gasoline may
contain benzene, which is a
cancer-causing agent. When refueling always shut the
engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the filler
neck. Never smoke while refueling.
Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous
under certain conditions. Care should
be taken to avoid inhaling excess
fumes. Observe the following guidelines
when handling automotive fuel: •
Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before
refueling your vehicle.
• Always turn off the vehicle before
refueling.
• Automotive fuels can be harmful
or fatal if swallowed. Fuel such as
gasoline is highly toxic and if
swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If fuel is
swallowed, call a physician
immediately, even if no symptoms
are immediately apparent. The
toxic effects of fuel may not be
visible for hours.
• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling
too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing
of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.
• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your
eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn),
flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to
seek proper medical attention
could lead to permanent injury.
155
Fuel and Refueling

•
Fuels can also be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. If fuel
is splashed on the skin, clothing or
both, promptly remove
contaminated clothing and wash
skin thoroughly with soap and
water. Repeated or prolonged skin
contact with fuel liquid or vapor
causes skin irritation.
• Be particularly careful if you are
taking “Antabuse ” or other forms
of disulfiram for the treatment of
alcoholism. Breathing gasoline
vapors, or skin contact could cause
an adverse reaction. In sensitive
individuals, serious personal injury
or sickness may result. If fuel is
splashed on the skin, promptly
wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water. Consult a physician
immediately if you experience an
adverse reaction.
FUEL QUALITY
Note: We recommend that you use
only high quality fuel without additives
or other engine treatments.
Do not use leaded gasoline or gasoline
with additives containing other
metallic compounds (e.g.
manganese-based). They could
damage the emission system.
Choosing the Right Fuel
Note: Use of any fuel other than those
recommended may cause powertrain
damage, a loss of vehicle performance
and repairs may not be covered under
warranty. If your vehicle is not a flexible fuel
vehicle, then only use unleaded fuel
or unleaded fuel blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol. 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.
The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by
law.
Your vehicle was not designed to use
fuel or fuel additives with metallic
compounds, including
manganese-based additives.
Octane Recommendations
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some fuel stations
offer fuels posted as regular with an
octane rating below 87, particularly in
high altitude areas. Do not use fuels
that have a posted rating below 87
octane. Premium fuel will provide
improved performance and is
recommended for severe duty usage
such as trailer tow.
Do not be concerned if your engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However,
if it knocks heavily while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane
rating, see your authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect
on vehicle components.
156
Fuel and Refueling

If you have run out of fuel:
•
You may need to cycle the ignition
from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system
to pump the fuel from the tank to
the engine. On restarting, cranking
time will take a few seconds longer
than normal. With keyless ignition,
just start the engine. Crank time
will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8
liters) of fuel is enough to restart
the engine. If the vehicle is out of
fuel and on a steep grade, more
than 1 gallon (3.8 liters) may be
required.
• The service engine soon indicator
may come on.
Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of
portable fuel containers or
aftermarket funnels into the capless
fuel system. This could damage the
fuel system and its seal, and may
cause fuel to run onto the ground
instead of filling the tank, which could
result in serious personal injury. Do not try to pry open or push
open the capless fuel system
with foreign objects. This could
damage the fuel system and its seal
and cause injury to you or others. Note:
Do not use aftermarket funnels;
they will not work with the capless fuel
system and can damage it. The
included funnel has been specially
designed to work safely with your
vehicle.
When filling the vehicle ’s fuel tank
from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel included with the vehicle. •
In vehicles equipped with a spare
tire, the funnel is located between
the rear seats and the spare tire
well. Fold down the rear seats and
lift the carpeted panel to access
the funnel. 157
Fuel and RefuelingE148854 E148856

•
In vehicles equipped with a tire
mobility kit the funnel is located in
the rear of the vehicle, inside the
load compartment, underneath
the carpeted floor panel and is
accessible from the trunk.
When filling the vehicle ’s fuel tank
from a portable fuel container:
1. Locate the white plastic funnel that comes with your vehicle. 2. Slowly insert the funnel into the
capless fuel system.
3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. Extra funnels
can be purchased from your
authorized dealer if you choose to
dispose of the funnel.
REFUELING WARNINGS
Fuel vapor burns violently and a
fuel fire can cause severe injuries.
Read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island. WARNINGS
Turn off your engine when you
are refueling.
Do not smoke if you are near fuel
or refueling your vehicle.
Keep sparks, flames and
smoking materials away from
fuel. Stay outside your vehicle and do
not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your
vehicle. This is against the law in some
places. Keep children away from the fuel
pump; never let children pump
fuel. Do not use personal electronic
devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
•
Place approved fuel container on
the ground.
• Do not fill a fuel container while it
is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in
contact with the fuel container
while filling.
• Do not use a device that would
hold the fuel pump handle in the
fill position.

Easy Fuel
™ Capless Fuel
System WARNING
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler door, do not
refuel until the sound stops.
Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which
could cause serious personal injury. When fueling your vehicle:
1.
Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn
the ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door. 3. Slowly insert the fuel filler nozzle
fully into the fuel system, and
leave the nozzle fully inserted to
open both doors until you are done
pumping. Hold handle higher
during insertion for easier access. 4. After you are done pumping fuel,
slowly remove the fuel filler
nozzle—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.
Note: A fuel spillage concern may
occur if overfilling the fuel tank. Do not
overfill the tank to the point that the
fuel is able to bypass the fuel filler
nozzle. The overfilled fuel may run
down the drain located below and in
front of the fuel filler door.
If the fuel fill inlet was not properly
closed, a Check Fuel Fill Inlet
message may appear on the
instrument cluster.
At the next opportunity, do the
following:
1. Safely pull off the road.
2. Put the vehicle in P (Park) and turn
the ignition off.
3. Open the fuel filler door and remove any visible debris from the
fuel fill opening.
