a pulsing noise. Lower the opposite window until the
noise subsides.
Congurable Daytime Running Lamps*
When you start your vehicle with your

,
the congurable daytime running lamps turn on
automatically when you are driving. You can
congure the daytime running lamps ON or OFF
using your information display controls. See the

Refueling
When Fueling Your Vehicle
1. Put your vehicle in park (P) and
switch the ignition o.
2. Open the fuel ller door. Slowly,
fully insert the fuel ller nozzle into
the fuel system. Leave the nozzle
inserted fully until you are done
pumping your fuel.
3. Wait at least 10 seconds before
removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into
the fuel tank.
Note: When using a portable fuel
container, do not use aftermarket
funnels, as they do not work with
the system and may cause damage.
Instead, use the plastic funnel included
with your vehicle.
The fuel funnel is in the rear of the
vehicle, in the spare wheel storage
tray. Properly clean the funnel after
each use or dispose of it properly.
Automatic Engine Shutdown
Your vehicle has a feature that
automatically shuts down the engine
if it has been idling for an extended
period of time. The ignition also turns
o in order to save battery power. You
can override this feature temporarily
by pressing the brake or accelerator
pedal, or by pressing OK or the RESET
button in your information display.

Towing Your Vehicle
Towing your vehicle behind an RV or

Four Wheels section in the Towing

more information.
Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info
Your vehicle has a 15.7 gallon (59.4 liter) fuel tank. 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. Do not use ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other
fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Your vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring system that lights a low tire
pressure warning light in your instrument cluster when one or more of your
tires are signicantly under-inated. 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.
Auto-Start-Stop*
The system automatically turns o the engine
when you stop your vehicle to help reduce
fuel consumption*.
Automatically turns the engine on when you

Automatically turns the engine on to make sure
there is no impact to cabin comfort.

The system turns on automatically each time you
start your vehicle, but you can switch it o.
Just press the Auto-Start-Stop button on the center
