Note: EV Now can resume if less than 1 gal
(3.8 L) of fuel is left in the tank.

Note: In most cases, when the fuel level is
below one-quarter tank, refueling the
vehicle will end fuel freshness mode and
then EV Now will become available.
Refueling after consuming a full tank in fuel
freshness mode will end the mode.

Note: The recommendation is that you use
a fuel stabilizer if you consume less than a
full tank of fuel during an 18-month period.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

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

If you have run out of fuel:

To start your vehicle with a keyless
ignition, just start the engine. Crank
time will be longer than usual.

Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is
enough to restart the vehicle. If the
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may be
required.

The service engine soon indicator may
come on.

Refilling With a Portable Fuel

Container (Except Energi
Vehicles)

WARNINGS

Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the capless fuel system.

This could damage the fuel system and its
seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the
ground instead of filling the tank, which
could result in serious personal injury.

Do not try to pry open or push open
the capless fuel system with foreign
objects. This could damage the fuel

system and its seal and cause injury to you
or others.

Note: Do not use aftermarket funnels. They
will not work with the capless fuel system
and can damage it. We have specially
designed the included funnel to work safely
with your vehicle.

When filling your vehicle’s fuel tank from
a portable fuel container, use the funnel
included with your vehicle.
