ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE

To apply the parking brake, pull the

Parking Brake switch on the center console.

To release the parking brake, turn on the

ignition, press the brake pedal, and then

press the

switch.

Note: The parking brake will release automatically if the

vehicle is running, placed into gear and an attempt is

made to drive.

To open the fuel door, press and release the center of the rear edge of the door. It will

pop out slightly. Pull the door open.

The vehicle's capless fuel system does not have a fuel cap. Fully insert the fuel pump

nozzle before starting to fill the tank.

Note: When using a portable gas can, insert the funnel adapter, stored under the spare tire, into the

capless fuel fill.

DIESEL FEATURES (IF EQUIPPED)

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID (DEF)

DEF causes a chemical reaction that reduces the amount of regulated emissions pro-

duced. It is not a fuel additive and does not come into contact with the diesel fuel. The

DEF level must be maintained for the vehicle to run properly. The DEF fill port is located

behind the fuel fill door.

DEF FILL WARNINGS

As the DEF level becomes low, refill warnings will be displayed on the Driver Information

Center. If the DEF tank is empty, the maximum vehicle speed will be reduced at various

mileage intervals. To avoid speed limitations, the DEF tank should be refilled after a low

fluid warning appears.

The DPF filters the diesel exhaust gases. Occasionally, the DPF needs to be cleaned.

When needed, the system will automatically initiate a self-cleaning function once driving

conditions are met.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner's Manual.
