RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
effect on powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:
• You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after

refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to
the engine. On restarting, crank time will be a few seconds longer
than normal. With keyless ignition, just start the engine. Crank time
will be longer than usual.

• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the

engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than
1 gallon (3.8 liters) may be required.

• The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more information

on the service engine soon indicator, see Warning Lamps and
Indicators
in the Instrument Cluster chapter.

REFUELING

WARNING: Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:

• Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
• Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
• Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
• Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
• Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended

when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.

• Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump

fuel.

• Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.

WARNING: Stop refueling after the fuel pump nozzle
automatically shuts off for the second time. Failure to follow this

will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel
overflowing.

Note: Wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
