Fuel Tank Capacity – Your vehicle’s fuel tank can accommodate 28 gallons of gasoline. Your
vehicle is designed to use "Regular" unleaded gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating
of 87 for optimum performance. The use of gasoline with lower octane ratings may
degrade performance.
Tire Pressure – Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the
recommended specifications found on the Certification Label located on the front door
latch pillar on the driver’s side. Please check your tire pressure during routine maintenance
and seasonal changes. Warning: Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and
can fail suddenly, possibly resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Fuses – If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. For
more information about changing a fuse, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch – After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the
fuel pump shut-off switch may have to be reset. The switch is located in the left rear
quarter trim panel, near the liftgate. For complete details on resetting the switch, please
consult your Owner’s Guide.
Changing the Tires – If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to
