WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-
inflation increases tire flexing and can result in over-heating and tire failure.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire
pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control. Always drive with each tire
inflated to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
ADDING FUEL
1. Push the fuel filler door release switch (located under the headlamp switch).

In certain cold conditions, ice may pre-
vent the fuel door from opening. If this
occurs, lightly push on the fuel door to
break the ice buildup and re-release the
fuel door using the inside release button.
Do not pry on the door.
3. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapperdoor 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.
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.
Fuel Door Emergency Release
• To manually open the fuel door, re- move the storage bin located in the
rear cargo area and pull the release
cable located in the storage bin
opening.
