Hybrid Transmission 

Due to the technologically advanced, 
electronically controlled, continuously 
variable transaxle, you will not feel shift 
changes like those of a non-hybrid vehicle. 
Since the transmission controls your engine 
speed, the engine speed may seem elevated 
at times. This is normal hybrid operation, as it 
helps deliver fuel efficiency and performance.

Fuel Tank Capacity/Fuel Info 

Your vehicle’s fuel tank capacity is  
13.5 gallons (51.1L). 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.

BLIS

®

 (Blind Spot Information System) 

with Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) 

This system is designed to alert the driver of 
certain collision risks. Radar sensors detect 
if vehicles ahead of you which are moving in 
the same direction, may be a collision risk. 
The system will alert you with an audible 
tone and red warning light which will appear 
above the instrument panel. If the risk of 
collision increases, the system will increase 
brake support to help reduce collision speed.

Temporary Mobility Kit 

The kit is located in the spare tire well in the 
trunk. The kit consists of an air compressor 
to reinflate the tire and a sealing compound 
in a canister that will effectively seal most 

punctures caused by nails or similar objects. 
This kit will provide a temporary seal allowing 
you to drive your vehicle up to 120 miles  
(200 kilometers) at a maximum speed of  
50 mph (80 km/h). For more details, refer 
to the 

Wheels and Tires

 chapter of your 

Owner’s Manual

.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System 

Your vehicle lights a low tire pressure 
warning light 

 in your instrument 

cluster when one or more of your tires are 
significantly under-inflated. If this happens, 
stop and check your tires as soon as 
possible. Inflate them to the proper pressure. 
Refer to the 

Inflating Your Tires

 section 

in the 

Wheels and Tires 

chapter of your 

Owner’s Manual

Essential Information

Easy Fuel

®

 System 

With this system, you 
simply open the fuel 
door, insert the nozzle 
and begin fueling. It is 
self-sealing and therefore 
protected against dust, 
dirt, water, snow and ice. 

Wait 10 seconds from 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.

Rear View Camera 

This system provides a video 
image of the area behind the 
vehicle. The display automatically 
appears in the touchscreen when 
the vehicle is in reverse (R) and 
uses green, yellow and red guides 
to alert you of your proximity  
to objects.
