INFORmATION

FUEL TyPE AND

TANK cAPAcITy

Your front-wheel drive

vehicle’s fuel tank can

accommodate 19.2 gallons

(72.7 L) of gasoline; all-

wheel drive vehicles can

accommodate 20.8 gallons

(78.7 L) Your vehicle is

designed to use unleaded

gasoline with an (R+M)/2

octane rating of 87. Using

gasoline with a lower

octane rating may

degrade performance.

TIRE PRESSURE

mONITORINg SySTEm

This system monitors tire

pressure on all road tires

and provides the driver with

a yellow warning light when

one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated.

Message center equipped

vehicles provide additional

warning messages. The TPMS

warning light will reset itself

(turn off) after the tires are

set to specification and the

vehicle is driven above 20

mph (32 km/h) for at least

2 minutes. Note: Outside

temperature affects tire

pressure. Please refer to your

Owner’s Guide.

TIRE PRESSURE

Your vehicle’s tire pressure

is properly set by your

authorized dealer according

to the recommended

specifications found on the

vehicle’s Safety Compliance

Certification Label or Tire

Label located on the driver’s

door jamb. Check your

tires for proper air pressure

monthly, check the air

pressure in your spare tire

every six months. Always use

an accurate tire pressure

gauge. Check the tire pressure

when tires are cold, after the

vehicle has been parked for at

least three hours or has been

driven less than three miles.

(As you drive, the temperature

in the tire warms up,

increasing the tire pressure.)

Improperly inflated tires can

affect vehicle handling and

can fail suddenly, resulting

in a possible loss of vehicle

control. Refer to the Tires,

Wheels and Loading chapter

in the Owner’s Guide for

further information.

FUSES

If the vehicle’s electrical

components are not operating,

a fuse may have blown. The

fuse panel is located below

the instrument panel on the

driver’s side. Remove the

cover to view the fuses. For

more information regarding

changing fuses, refer to

the Roadside Emergencies

chapter of your

Owner’s Guide.

FUEL PUmP SHUT-OFF SWITcH

The fuel pump shut-off switch

stops the electric fuel pump

from sending fuel to your

engine when your vehicle has

sustained a substantial jolt.

This switch is located behind

a panel on the left side of

the cargo area. For more

information regarding the

fuel pump shut-off switch,

refer to the Roadside

Emergencies chapter of

your Owner’s Guide.

LOcATION OF SPARE TIRE

AND TOOLS

The spare tire and jack are

located in the cargo area

below the carpeted floor

panel. The lug nut wrench is

contained in the tool bag. For

complete details on how to

change your tire, refer to the

Roadside Emergencies chapter

in your Owner’s Guide.

REVERSE SENSINg SySTEm

(if equipped)

The RSS detects obstacles up

to 6 feet (2 meters) from the

rear bumper with a decreased

coverage area at the outer

corners of the bumper. As you

move closer to the obstacle,

the rate of the tone increases.

When the obstacle is less than

10 inches (25 cm) away, the

tone will sound continuously.

If the RSS detects a stationary

or receding object further

than 10 inches (25 cm)

from the side of the vehicle,

the tone will sound for only

three seconds. Once the

system detects an object

approaching, the tone will

sound again.

REAR WINDOW BUFFETINg

When one or both of the rear

windows are open, the vehicle

may demonstrate a wind throb

or buffeting noise; this noise

is common among a wide

range of vehicles and can be

eliminated by simply lowering

a front window approximately

two to three inches.

limited warranty period, the

assurance and support of a

24-hour emergency roadside
