ESSENTIAL INFORMATION Cargo Storage: The cargo storage compartment is located in the floor of the rear hatch. Lift the release handle to open the floor panel upward. You may also have a cargo net that secures lightweight objects in the cargo area. Attach the net to the anchors provided on both sides of the vehicle's interior. Fuel-efficient Transmission: Your vehicle has been designed to improve fuel economy by reducing fuel usage while coasting or decelerating. This may be perceived as a light to medium braking sensation when removing your foot from the accelerator pedal. REAR WINDOW BUFFETING: You may hear a wind throb or buffeting noise when one or both of the rear windows are open. Lower a front window slightly to help reduce the noise. Fuel Tank Capacity/ Fuel info: All-wheel drive vehicles have a 19.2 gallon (72.7L) fuel tank capacity and front-wheel drive vehicles have a 18.3 gallon (69.3L) fuel tank capacity. Use only "Regular" unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Do not use E85 fuels because your vehicle was not designed to run on fuels with more than 15% ethanol. Running out of fuel: When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the spare tire compartment), 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.
