ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

REFUELING

When refueling your vehicle:
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off.
2. Fully open the fuel door.
3. Insert the fuel ller nozzle into the fuel system up to the rst notch, and
leave the nozzle inserted and resting against the cover of the fuel tank
until you are done pumping.
4. Make sure you keep the fuel pump nozzle in a level position when
refueling or it may impact the ow of the fuel. Improper positioning can
also cause the fuel pump to shut off before the fuel tank is full.
5. When you nish refueling, slowly raise and remove the fuel pump
nozzle. Fully close the fuel door.
If you are re lling your tank from a fuel container, make sure you use the
fuel ller funnel included with your vehicle. Using an aftermarket funnel
may not work with the capless system and could cause damage to your
vehicle. For more information and for your fuel ller funnel location, please
see the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your Owner's Manual.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY, FUEL TYPES AND FLEX FUEL

Depending on your vehicle, your fuel tank size varies based on body style
and engine con guration. Refer to the Capacities and Speci cations
chapter in your Owner's Manual for more details. For non- ex fuel, non-
diesel vehicles, use only UNLEADED fuel or UNLEADED fuel blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol and a minimum octane rating of 87.
Do not use any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission
control system.
If your vehicle has a yellow fuel ller cap, a yellow bezel around the fuel
ller inlet, a yellow fuel ller housing or a yellow E85 label on the fuel tank
ller door, you have a ex fuel vehicle and can use either regular unleaded
fuel, E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture of the two.
Add at least half a tank of fuel when switching between regular unleaded
fuel or E85 and drive the vehicle immediately after refueling for at least 5
miles (8 kilometers) to allow the vehicle to adapt to the change in ethanol
concentration. If you use E85 fuel exclusively, we recommend lling the
fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline at each scheduled oil change.
See the Fuel and Refueling chapter in your Owner's Manual for complete
ex fuel usage details.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
When one or more of your tires are under-in ated, your vehicle turns on
the low tire pressure warning light in the instrument cluster. If this
happens, stop and check your tires as soon as possible. In ate them to
the proper pressure. Refer to the Wheels and Tires chapter of your Owner's
Manual for more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE AND TOOLS
The spare tire is located under the vehicle, just forward of the rear bumper.
The jack and tools are on the rear passenger side of your vehicle, behind
the passenger seat. A dissimilar spare tire is designed for emergency use
only and should be replaced as soon as possible.
For complete details on changing your tire, refer to the Wheels and Tires
chapter of your Owner's Manual.
