Essential Information

EASY FUEL SYSTEM
®
The Easy Fuel system is self-sealing and therefore protected against dust,
dirt, water, snow and ice. Open the fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and start
fueling. Wait 5-10 seconds after pumping the fuel before removing the fuel
filler nozzle. This allows the residual fuel to drain into the tank.
To refuel using a portable fuel container, use the fuel funnel. The fuel funnel
location can vary, depending on your vehicle:
In SuperCab and SuperCrew vehicles: Attached behind the rear seat on
•
®
the passenger side.
• In Regular cab vehicles: Attached behind the passenger seat. For easier
access, move the passenger seat forward.
Slowly insert the funnel into the Easy Fuel system and fill the tank with fuel
from the container. When done, clean the funnel or properly dispose of it. You
can purchase extra funnels from your authorized dealer.
Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they do not work with the Easy Fuel
system and may cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND FUEL TYPE
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank has a capacity of either 23 gallons
(81.7L) or 36 gallons (136.2L). Use "Regular" unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 87. Do not use E85 fuels, because your vehicle
was not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol.
To provide improved performance, we recommend premium fuel for severe
duty usage, such as when towing a trailer.
FUEL-EFFICIENT TRANSMISSION
Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing
fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light
to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the
accelerator pedal.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
Your vehicle comes with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that
displays a low tire pressure warning light when one or more of your tires
are significantly under-inflated. If this happens, stop and check your tires as
soon as possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure.
Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter in your Owner's Manual for
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
Your vehicle comes with a full-size spare tire located under the vehicle, just
forward of the rear bumper. Use it for emergency use only, and be sure to
replace it as soon as possible.
The jack and tools location can vary, depending on your vehicle:
In SuperCab and SuperCrew models: Attached behind the rear seat on
• ®
the passenger side.
• In Regular cab models: Attached to the floor behind the passenger seat—
for easier access, move the passenger seat forward.
For complete details on how to change your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires
chapter in your Owner's Manual.
