E S S EN T I A L Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel info Your vehicle has a 12.4 gallon (46.9L) fuel tank capacity. Your vehicle may be flex-fuel capable. If so, it will have a yellow ring around the fuel inlet. Flex fuel vehicles are designed to use ETHANOL (E85) fuel blends and UNLEADED FUEL. Please see your Owner's Manual for specific refueling instructions when using E85. Non-flex fuel vehicles use only UNLEADED fuel with an octane rating of 87. Do not use fuel ethanol (E85), diesel fuel, fuel-methanol, leaded fuel or any other fuel because it could damage or impair the emission control system. INF O RM A T I O N • Insert the nozzle. • Begin fueling. •  Wait 10 seconds between the time the refueling nozzle is shut off until you remove the nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank. •  When using a portable fuel container, slowly insert the fuel funnel (located in the spare tire compartment) and pour the fuel into the funnel. Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels as they will not work with the Easy Fuel system and may cause damage. Properly clean the funnel after each use.
