TOR QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Fuel Tank Capacity – Your vehicle’s fuel tank can accommodate 28 gallons (106l) of gasoline. Your
vehicle is designed to use "Premium" unleaded gasoline with pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 for
optimum performance. The use of gasoline with lower octane ratings may degrade performance.
Tire Pressure – Your tire pressure is properly set at the dealership according to the recommended
specifications found on the Certification Label located on the front door latch pillar on the driver’s
side. Please check your tire pressure during routine maintenance and seasonal changes.
Warning: Improperly inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, possibly
resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Fuses – If electrical components in the vehicle are not working, a fuse may have blown. For more
information about changing a fuse, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch – After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump
shut-off switch may have to be reset. The switch is located in the left rear quarter trim panel, near the
liftgate. For complete details on resetting the switch, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
Changing the Tires – If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily. Instead,
gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on
the side of the road. Prior to jacking, hoisting, or towing your vehicle, be sure to turn OFF the
running boards (if equipped) and the air suspension switch.
