4. Place the end of the funnel on the
lower part of the filler opening,
then insert it slowly and fully. Make
sure that the end of the funnel goes
down along with the filler pipe.
5. Fill the tank with fuel from the
portable fuel container. Pour fuel
carefully so you do not spill any.
6. Remove the funnel from the filler
neck. Wipe up any fuel from the
funnel before storing it.
7. Shut the fuel fill door by hand.
Do not insert the nozzle of a portable fuel container or any funnel other

system. Do not try to pry open or push open the sealed fuel tank with
foreign objects. This can damage the fuel system and its seal.

Keyless Access System Battery Strength

If the battery life in your remote transmitter is weak, a message appears in the
Multi-Information Display (MID) with information on how to start the engine.
1. Touch the back of the remote
transmitter to the ENGINE START/
STOP button while the indicator is
flashing.
2. With the brake pedal pressed, press the
ENGINE START/STOP button within 10
seconds.
When you carry the remote transmitter (for example, in a pocket or purse) and
it is outside the vehicle and within range (about 32 inches or 80 cm), you can
lock or unlock the doors and the tailgate without handling the transmitter.

Jump Starting

engine, then open the hood.
A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously
injuring anyone nearby.
Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery.
