FUEL CONSUMPTION
The advertised capacity is the maximum

the advertised capacity is an empty

unspecified amount of fuel that remains
in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge
indicates empty.

5. Slightly raise the fuel pump nozzle and
then slowly remove it.
Note: The amount of fuel in the empty
reserve varies and should not be relied upon
to increase driving range.
6. Fully close the fuel tank filler door.
Note: Do not attempt to start the engine
if you have filled the fuel tank with incorrect
fuel. Incorrect fuel use can cause damage
not covered by the vehicle Warranty. Have
your vehicle checked immediately.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•
•
•
Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
System Warnings(If Equipped)
If the fuel filler inlet does not fully close a
warning message appears in the
information display.
Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.
1. Stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible and shift the transmission into
park (P) or neutral (N).
Allow no more than one automatic
shut-off when refueling.
2. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
Results are most accurate when the filling
method is consistent.
3. Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
it engages.
4. Check the fuel filler inlet and the area
around it for any items or debris that
may be obstructing its movement.
