Introduction

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
Your vehicle has an intelligent electronicallycontrolled door system that is in constantcommunication with overall vehicle systems.
When you lock your vehicle using the lockswitch on each door interior trim panel, orby using the keyless entry keypad or the locksensor on each door exterior trim panel, theexterior door handle switches do not releasethe doors. This helps to secure your vehicleand prevent unauthorized entry. Also, whenyour vehicle reaches a speed greater than12 mph (20 km/h) the exterior door handleswitches do not release the doors.
If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoffswitch activates, all interior and exteriorunlock switches do not unlock your door forsix seconds. This helps to secure the doorsin the event of a crash. After six seconds, allswitches reset and you can open the doorsusing the interior and exterior unlatchswitches.
Door Lock Indicator
An LED on each front door window trimilluminates when you lock the doors. Itremains on for 2 to 5 seconds after youswitch the ignition off.
Door Lock Switch Inhibitor
When you electronically lock your vehicle,the door lock switches and the interiorluggage compartment release switch do notoperate after 20 seconds. You must unlockyour vehicle with the remote control orkeyless entry keypad, or switch the ignitionon, to restore function to these switches. You can switch this feature on or off in theinformation display. See GeneralInformation (page 115).
Activating Intelligent Access
The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft(1 m) of the door or luggage compartmentyou intend to lock or unlock.

Your vehicle is designed to operate onregular unleaded gasoline with a minimumpump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those in highaltitude areas, offer fuels posted as regularunleaded gasoline with an octane ratingbelow 87. The use of these fuels could resultin engine damage that will not be coveredby the vehicle warranty.
For best overall vehicle and engineperformance, premium fuel with an octanerating of 91 or higher is recommended. Theperformance gained by using premium fuelis most noticeable in hot weather as well asother conditions, for example when towinga trailer. See Towing (page 271).
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if theengine knocks heavily while using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, contact anauthorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
We recommend Top Tier detergentgasolines, where available to help minimizeengine deposits and maintain optimal vehicleand engine performance. For additionalinformation, refer to www.toptiergas.com.
Note:Use of any fuel for which the vehiclewas not designed can impair the emissioncontrol system, cause loss of vehicleperformance, and cause damage to theengine which may not be covered by thevehicle Warranty.
Do not use:
•Diesel fuel.
•Fuels containing kerosene or paraffin.
•Fuel containing more than 15% ethanolor E85 fuel.
•Fuels containing methanol.
•Fuels containing metallic-based additives,including manganese-based compounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel isprohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl (commonly known as MMT), whichis a manganese-based fuel additive, willimpair engine performance and affect theemission control system.
FUEL FILLER FUNNEL LOCATION
The fuel filler funnel is under the luggagecompartment floor covering.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Running out of fuel can cause damage notcovered by the vehicle Warranty.
If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
•Add a minimum of 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel torestart the engine.
•You may need to switch the ignition fromoff to on several times after refueling toallow the fuel system to pump the fuelfrom the tank to the engine. Whenrestarting, cranking time takes a fewseconds longer than normal.
