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 fuel tank to the engine.
On restarting, cranking time will take a
few seconds longer than normal.

Normally, adding 1.0 gal (3.8 L) of fuel
is enough to restart the engine. If the
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 1.0 gal (3.8 L) 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
(page 79).

For information on calculating DTE
(Distance to empty), See Instrument
Cluster (page 77).

Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container

WARNINGS

Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the Easy Fuel “no cap”

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 Easy Fuel “no cap” fuel system
with foreign objects. This could

damage the fuel system and its seal and
cause injury to you or others.

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

With the Easy Fuel capless fuel system,
use the following directions when filling
from a portable fuel container:

E142668

1.

Locate the white plastic funnel in the
spare tire compartment.

2. Slowly insert the portable fuel

container into the fuel filler opening.

3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the

portable fuel container.

4. When done, clean the funnel or

properly dispose of it. You can
purchase extra funnels from your
authorized dealer if you choose to
dispose of the funnel. Do not use
aftermarket funnels. They will not work
with the Easy Fuel system and can
damage it. We have specially designed
the included funnel to work safely with
your vehicle.
