REFUELING
When refueling your vehicle:
1. Place your vehicle in park (P) and
make sure the ignition is switched o .
2. If your vehicle is an HEV, press the
button to open the fuel fi ller door. For
gas-only vehicles, press the center
rear edge or pull the rear of the fuel
ller door to open it.
3. Insert the fuel fi ller nozzle into the
fuel system up to the fi rst notch, and
leave the nozzle inserted and resting
on the fuel tank fi ller pipe 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 fl ow
of the fuel. Improper positioning can
also cause the fuel pump to shut o
before the fuel tank is full.
5. When you fi 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 fi ller funnel included with
your vehicle. Using an a ermarket
funnel may not work with the capless
system and could cause damage to
your vehicle. For more information
and for your fuel fi ller funnel location,
please see the Fuel and Refueling
chapter of your Owners Manual.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY
AND FUEL INFO
Depending on your vehicle, your fuel
tank size varies based on the engine
confi guration. Refer to the Capacities
and Specifi cations chapter in your
Owners Manual for more details. If
your vehicle has a yellow fuel fi ller
cap, a yellow bezel around the fuel
ller inlet, a yellow fuel fi ller housing
or a yellow E85 label on the fuel tank
ller door, you have a fl ex fuel vehicle
and can use either regular unleaded
fuel, E85 ethanol fuel or any mixture
of the two. See the Fuel and Refueling
chapter in your Owners Manual for
complete fl ex fuel usage details. For
non-fl ex fuel vehicles, we recommend
regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. To provide
improved performance, we recommend
premium fuel for severe duty usage,
such as trailer towing.
REAR WINDOW BUFFETING
When just one of the windows is
open, you may hear a pulsing noise.
Lower the opposite window until the
noise subsides.
TRAILER TOW
Before you tow, refer to your Owners
Manual for complete information on
weight, details and limitations, as well
as safety information and the proper
equipment to use while towing.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Towing your vehicle behind an RV
or any other vehicle may be limited.
Refer to the Towing the Vehicle on
Four Wheels section in the Towing
chapter of your Owners Manual for
more information.
LOCATION OF SPARE TIRE
AND TOOLS
Your spare tire and tools are under
the load fl oor. 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 Changing a Road Wheel
section in the Wheels and Tires chapter
of your Owners Manual.
HELP MAXIMIZE YOUR FUEL ECONOMY BY UTILIZING THESE FEW TIPS
1. Use smooth acceleration
and braking.
According to the United
States Department of Energy,
aggressive driving can lower
your gas mileage by up to 33
percent at highway speeds
and 5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials.
The Department of Energy
estimates that an extra 100
pounds (45 kilograms) in your
vehicle could reduce your fuel
economy by up to 2 percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes
a di erence.
Winter fuel contains
slightly less energy than
summer fuel, so the fuel
blend you fi ll up with can
impact your e ciency.
4. Idling burns fuel, too.
You can burn up to half a
gallon (1.9 liters) of fuel per
hour when idling. Minimize
your morning warm-up and
parking lot waits to get the
most out of fi lling your tank.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Find a shady or sheltered spot
to help keep your lithium-ion
battery operating e ciently,
and minimize the amount
of energy required to heat
or cool your cabin.
6. Use accessories wisely.
Heated seats, the rear
defroster, the air conditioner
and other power features
draw electrical energy. When
you operate your accessories,
you may notice that the
gasoline engine needs to
start. Choose Accessory
Power when confi guring
your MyView screen to see
how much electricity you
are using to power your
vehicle’s accessories.
7. Check your tires.
Proper tire infl ation can
help you improve your fuel
economy by up to 3.3 percent,
according to the Department
of Energy, while under-
infl ation could lower your fuel
economy by 0.3 percent for
every 1 psi drop in pressure.
Check your vehicle’s door
sticker for recommended
cold tire infl ation pressure.
