increasing traction and enabling you to
drive over terrain and in road conditions
that a conventional two-wheel drive
vehicle cannot. Your vehicle is not
intended for off-road use. Note: Use
only the provided spare tire. Using a
different size could cause the AWD
system to stop functioning and default
to front-wheel drive. Your AWD
vehicle has special towing instructions.
Refer to your Owner’s Guide for
more information.
EASY FUEL®FUEL SYSTEM
With this system, you simply open the
fuel filler door, insert the nozzle and
begin fueling. Wait five seconds from
the time the refueling nozzle is shut-off
until the nozzle is pulled back out of
the fill pipe to allow residual fuel in
the nozzle to drain into the tank. It is
self-sealing and therefore protected
against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice.
To use a portable fuel container, slowly
insert the fuel funnel (attached to the
underside of the spare tire cover or
included with the tire changing tools),
and pour the fuel into the funnel. When
done, clean the funnel or properly
dispose of it. Extra funnels can be
purchased from your authorized dealer.
Do not use aftermarket funnels as they
will not work with the Easy Fuel®
system and may cause damage.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY/FUEL INFO
All-wheel drive vehicles have a fuel tank
capacity of 16.5 gallons (62.5L) while
front wheel drive vehicles have a fuel
tank capacity of 17.5 gallons (66.2L).
Use only “Regular” gasoline with an
octane rating of 87. Do not use E85
fuels because your vehicle was not
designed to run on fuels with more

LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE
AND TOOLS

the trunk, under the floor panel. The
