FUEL QUALITY
SELECTING THE CORRECT FUEL
Your vehicle operates on regular unleadedgasoline with a minimum pump (R+M)/2octane rating of 87.
Some fuel stations, particularly those inhigh altitude areas, offer fuels posted asregular unleaded gasoline with an octanerating below 87. The use of these fuelscould result in engine damage that will notbe covered by 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 wellas other conditions, for example whentowing a trailer. See Towing a Trailer(page 307).
Do not be concerned if the enginesometimes knocks lightly. However, if theengine knocks heavily while using fuel withthe recommended octane rating, contactan authorized dealer to prevent any enginedamage.
We recommend Top Tier detergentgasolines, where available to help minimizeengine deposits and maintain optimalvehicle and engine performance.
For additional information, visitwww.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-basedadditives, including manganese-basedcompounds.
•Fuels containing the octane boosteradditive, methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl (MMT).
•Leaded fuel, using leaded fuel isprohibited by law.
The use of fuels with metallic compoundssuch as methylcyclopentadienylmanganese tricarbonyl, which is amanganese-based fuel additive, will impairengine performance and affect theemission control system.
LOCATING THE FUEL FILLER

PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help avoid personalinjury, always use caution when inreverse (R) and when using the sensingsystem.
WARNING: The system may notdetect objects with surfaces that absorbreflection. Always drive with due careand attention. Failure to take care mayresult in a crash.
WARNING: Traffic control systems,fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,air brakes, external motors and fans mayaffect the correct operation of thesensing system. This may cause reducedperformance or false alerts.
WARNING: The system may notdetect small or moving objects,particularly those close to the ground.
WARNING: The parking aid systemcan only assist you to detect objectswhen your vehicle is moving at parkingspeeds. To help avoid personal injury youmust take care when using the parkingaid system.
WARNING: The system may notfunction if the sensor is blocked.
WARNING: In cold and severeweather conditions the system may notfunction. Rain, snow and spray can alllimit sensor performance.
WARNING: If damage occurs in theimmediate area surrounding the sensor,have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
Note:If your vehicle sustains damageleaving the sensors misaligned, this willcause inaccurate measurements or falsealerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,the rear parking aid detects the trailer andprovides an alert. Disable the parking aidwhen you connect a trailer to prevent thealert.
Note:Connected trailers might be detectedby the vehicle and parking aid turns offautomatically in those instances.
Note:Certain add-on devices installedaround the bumper or fascia may createfalse alerts, for example, large trailerhitches, bike or surfboard racks, license platebrackets, bumper covers or any other devicethat could block the normal detection zoneof the parking aid system. Aftermarket sparetires or spare tire covers mounted to the reartailgate could cause false alerts from thepark aid system. Remove the add-on deviceto prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, iceand large accumulations of dirt. If thesensors are covered, the system's accuracycan be affected.
Do not clean the sensors with sharpobjects.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey,you cannot switch the parking aids off. SeeMyKey™ (page 84).

WARNING: Never link two winchropes together with a clevis pin. Theseheavy metal objects could becomeprojectiles if the winch rope breaks.
WARNING: When using the winch,take care not to get your fingers or handscaught in the mechanism. Failure tofollow this instruction could result inpersonal injury.
WARNING: Avoid wearing loosefitting clothing or jewelry when winching.
WARNING: Make sure to wear eyeprotection when winching.
WARNING: Do not exceed thewinch or winch rope capacity. Failure tofollow this instruction could result inpersonal injury.
WARNING: Wear gloves whenhandling the winch rope. Failure to followthis instruction could result in personalinjury.
WARNING: Do not use the winchto secure loads.
WARNING: Do not use the winchto tow a trailer. This can damage,overload and break the winch rope.
WARNING: Make sure the anchorpoint can properly support the load andsecure the winching equipment. Failureto follow this instruction could result inpersonal injury.
WARNING: Only use theequipment supplied with the winch whenwinching.
WARNING: Do not engage ordisengage the winch clutch when thewinch is in use.
WARNING: The winch andassociated components become hotwhen in use. Let them cool down beforeremoving them.
WARNING: Do not attempt toservice, repair or modify the winchingsystem. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury or death.
WARNING: Make sure to properlystore the winch rope to the shackle pointor fairlead when not in use. Failure toproperly store the winch rope couldcause it to become a projectile.
WINCHING REQUIREMENTS
To winch your vehicle, make sure of thefollowing:
•The intended anchor point is secure.The anchor point must be strongenough to hold the weight of yourvehicle when winching.
•The intended anchor point allows youto pull your vehicle straight ahead.
•The intended anchor point is as faraway as possible, within the 100 ft(30 m) rope length. This allows thegreatest pulling power for the winch.
•The winch rope is in good condition andfree of visible cuts, tear or damage.
•Use a damper device such as a tarp,heavy blanket or piece of carpet, andplace it over the winch rope to helpabsorb the energy in the event thewinch rope breaks.
•Bystanders are to the sides of thevehicle, at a distance of at least twicethe length of the winch rope.
