sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it
knocks heavily under most driving
conditions while you are using fuel with the
recommended cetane rating, contact an
authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.
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, cranking time will take a few
seconds longer than normal. With
keyless ignition, just start the engine.
Crank time will be longer than usual.
•
Normally, adding 1 gallon (4.6 liters) of
fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
your vehicle is out of fuel and on a
steep grade, more than 1 gallon (4.6
liters) may be required.
1. Locate the plastic funnel inside the
foam box in the spare wheel well.
2. Slowly insert the funnel into the
capless fuel system.
3. Fill your vehicle with fuel from the
portable fuel container.
4. When done, clean the funnel or
properly dispose of it. Extra funnels can
be purchased from your authorized
dealer if you choose to dispose of the
funnel.
Refilling with a Portable Fuel
Container
WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the capless fuel system,
they could become stuck. 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.
