Fuel Type and Tank Capacity
Your fuel tank can accommodate
approximately 17.5 gallons (66.2 L) of
gasoline. 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
Your vehicle’s tire pressure specifications are
found on the vehicle’s Safety Compliance
Certification 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. Additional fuses are located
in the power distribution box in the engine
compartment. 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. The switch is located in the
passenger’s footwell, by the kick panel. 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
trunk below the carpeted floor panel. The
necessary tools are 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.
