ESSENTIAL 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

includes such services as fuel
delivery, tire changes, jump
starts, winch outs, help when
