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 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 a Trailer (page 349).
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 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-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, which is a manganese-based fueladditive, will impair engine performance andaffect the emission control system.

WHAT IS THE ELECTRONIC
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
The electronic limited-slip differential systemdirects torque across the axle, enabling thevehicle to drive over terrain and roadconditions that a conventional axle cannot.The system is active at all times and requiresno input from the driver.
Note:If your vehicle is not at optimaloperating conditions or a system fault ispresent, a warning may display in theinstrument cluster. Depending on thewarning, you may need to service yourvehicle.
Operating the Electronic Limited-SlipDifferential with a Spare or MismatchedTires
If your vehicle has an electronic limited-slipdifferential, do not use a spare tire of adifferent size than the tire provided. If youhave a spare tire installed, a message mayappear indicating the system has disabledautomatically or reduced function to preventsystem overheat and damage. Werecommend you reinstall the repaired orreplaced spare tire as soon as possible.When you replace the spare tire, the systemresumes normal operation on the next keycycle.
Trailer Towing
The electronic limited-slip differentialenhances vehicle stability during trailer towoperation. During high demand traileringevents, such as steep slopes, high speedsor with a spare tire, the system may providea warning in the instrument cluster andreduce function or enter a temporarilydisabled state. To resume normal function,stop the vehicle in a safe location and allowthe unit to adequately cool. Once the systemreaches normal operating temperatures,system function restores and the electroniclimited-slip differential restored messagedisplays.
