Fuel tank capacityFront-wheel drive vehicles: 15.5 gal (59.0 L)
All-wheel drive vehicles: 14.5 gal (55.0 L)Refueling1. Before filling with fuel, stop the engine.
2. The fuel tank filler is located on the rear driver side of
your vehicle.

!Since the fuel system may be under pressure,
remove the fuel tank filler cap slowly. This relieves
any pressure or vacuum that might have built up in
the fuel tank. If the cap is venting vapor or if you
hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before
removing the cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out,
injuring you or others.

4. While filling with fuel, store the cap in the cap holder
located on the inside of the fuel tank filler door.
5. To fill with fuel correctly depends mainly on correct han-
dling of the fuel filler nozzle. Do not tilt the nozzle. Insert
the nozzle in the tank port as far as it will go.6. When the nozzle stops automatically, do not attempt to
add more fuel.
7. To close, turn the fuel tank filler cap slowly clockwise
until you hear clicking sounds, then gently push the fuel
tank filler door closed.
CAUTION
!Your vehicle can only be operated using unleaded
gasoline. Serious engine and catalytic converter
damage will result if leaded gasoline is used.
CAUTION
!To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top-
off” the fuel tank. Spilled fuel could discolor, stain,
or crack the vehicle’s paintwork. If fuel spills on the
paintwork, wipe it off with a soft cloth.
WA R N I N G
!Make sure the fuel cap is securely closed. If the fuel
cap is loose, fuel could leak, resulting in a fire.
CAUTION
!If you need to replace the fuel tank filler cap, use
only the cap specified for your model vehicle.

2 Seats and restraint systems
N00401600182
Your vehicle has seat belts and other features that help protect
you and your passengers in an accident.
Seat belts are the most important safety device. When worn
properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or
death in various types of crashes. For added protection during a
severe frontal collision, your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with airbags for the driver and passen-
gers. The seats, head restraints, and door locks also are safety
equipment, which must be used correctly.
Always check the following before you drive:
That everyone in your vehicle is properly wearing their
seat belt.
That infants and small children are properly secured in
appropriate child restraint systems in the rear seat.
That all doors are fully closed and locked.
That seatbacks are upright, with head restraints properly
adjusted.
Safety equipment cannot prevent injury or death in all motor
vehicle accidents. You can help reduce the risk of injury or
death, however, by following the instructions in this manual.
