increasing traction and enabling you to
drive over terrain and in road conditions
that a conventional two-wheel drive
vehicle cannot. Your vehicle is not
intended for off-road use. Note: Use
only the provided spare tire. Using a
different size could cause the AWD
system to stop functioning and default
to front wheel drive. Your AWD
vehicle has special towing instructions.
Refer to your Owner’s Guide for
more information.
EASY FUEL™ ‘NO CAP’ FUEL SYSTEM
With this system, you simply open the
fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and
begin fueling. It is self-sealing and
therefore protected against dust, dirt,
water, snow and ice. To use a portable
fuel container, slowly insert the fuel
funnel (attached to the underside of the
spare tire cover or included with the tire
changing tools), and pour the fuel into
the funnel. Wait five seconds from the
time the refueling nozzle is shut-off until
the nozzle is pulled back out of the fill
pipe to allow residual fuel in the nozzle
to drain into the tank. When done,
clean the funnel or properly dispose
of it. Extra funnels can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Do not use
aftermarket funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel™ system and may
cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL INFO
All wheel drive vehicles have a fuel tank
capacity of 16.5 gallons (62.4L) while
front wheel drive vehicles have a fuel
tank capacity of 17.5 gallons (66.2L).
Use only “Regular” gasoline with an
octane rating of 87. Do not use E85
fuels because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with more
than 10% ethanol.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE
AND TOOLS
Your spare tire and tools are located in
the trunk, under the floor panel. The
spare tire is designed for emergency
use only and should be replaced as
soon as possible. For complete details

Roadside Emergencies chapter in your
Owner’s Guide.
