only and replace it as soon as possible.
For complete details on changing your
tire, refer to the Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter
of your Owner’s Manual.

assurance and support of 24-hour
emergency roadside assistance.

United States, call 1-800-241-3673.
In Canada, call 1-800-665-2006.
EASY FUEL® SYSTEM
When fueling your vehicle, put
your vehicle in park (P) and
switch the ignition off. Open the
fuel filler door. Slowly insert
the fuel filler nozzle fully into
the fuel system. Leave the
nozzle fully inserted until you
finish pumping. Wait at least
10 seconds before removing the
fuel pump nozzle to allow any
residual fuel to drain into the
fuel tank.
NOTE: When using a portable
fuel container, pour fuel into the
fuel funnel (located in the spare
wheel storage tray). Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they
will not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage.
Properly clean or dispose of the
funnel after each use.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
AND FUEL INFO
Your vehicle has a fuel tank
capacity of 18.6 gallons (70L).
If your vehicle has a yellow ring
around the fuel inlet, you have
a flex fuel vehicle and can use
either regular unleaded fuel, E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture
of the two. See your Owner’s
Manual for complete flex fuel
usage details.
Non-flex fuel vehicles use only
UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED
fuel blended with a maximum
of 15% ethanol with a minimum
octane rating of 87. Do not use
any other fuel because it could
damage or impair the emission
control system.
Premium fuel can provide
improved performance and is
recommended for severe duty
usage such as trailer tow.
TRAILER TOW*
Before you tow, refer to your
Owner’s Manual for complete
information on weight, details
and limitations, as well as safety
information and the proper
equipment to use while towing.
NOTE: Do not tow with the mini
spare tire installed.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Towing your vehicle behind an
RV or any other vehicle may
be limited. Refer to Towing the
Vehicle on Four Wheels section
in the Towing chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
TRAILER SWAY CONTROL
This feature helps reduce trailer
sway when it begins by applying
your vehicle brakes at individual
wheels and, if necessary,
reducing engine power.
For more complete information,
see the Towing chapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
