Rain Mode
•Rainmodeoffersincreasedtractioncontrolandstabilitycontrolforlowtraction
conditions such as wet roads, dry roads during cold temperatures, or when the driver
wants enhanced stability due to lack of familiarity or experience with the vehicle’s
response. To enter the “Rain Mode” mode, push the “ESC” switch three times. The
“ESC RAIN” light will illuminate, and the “ESC RAIN” message will display in the
vehicle cluster (left of the odometer).
NOTE:
Some models may not offer “Sport” or “Track” Mode.
WARNING!
The Electronic Stability Control System (ESC) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics
from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. ESC cannot prevent all accidents, including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning. ESC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate driver input
for the conditions. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The
capabilities of an ESC equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

ADDING FUEL
1. Press the fuel filler door release switch (located in the driver's door map pocket).
2. Open the fuel filler door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the pipe seals the system.
4. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the flapper
door while refueling.
NOTE:
Only the correct size nozzle opens the latches allowing the flapper door to open.
5. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
NOTE:
Afunnelisprovided(locatedinthetrunkinthesparetirearea)toopentheflapper
door to allow for emergency refueling with a gas can.
