RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

If you have run out of fuel:

To start the vehicle with a 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 vehicle. 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

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. The included funnel has
been specially designed to work safely with
your vehicle.

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