Fuel-efficient
Automatic 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.
Easy Fuel® System
With this system, open the fuel door, insert
the nozzle and begin fueling. It is self-
sealing and therefore protected against
dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. 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.
NOTE When using a portable fuel
container, use the removable fuel funnel,
located behind the left rear seat, under
the carpet. To access, fold the seatback
down and pull back the piece of carpet.
Slowly insert the fuel funnel and pour the
fuel into the funnel. When done, clean the
funnel or properly dispose of it. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. Refer to the Refueling section
in the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your
Owner's Manual for additional information.
