ESSENTIAL

INFORMATION

FEATURES

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 and before

long trips. Use a tire gauge to check the tire

inflation pressure, including the spare tire

(if equipped). 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. As an

added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a tire pressure monitoring

system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire

pressure warning light when one or more of

your tires is significantly under-inflated. R

efer 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, in the upper right corner. 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.
