Driving and Operating 221
5. Retighten the drain plug by
turning it clockwise.
6. Properly dispose of the water
contaminated fuel.
7. Start the engine and let it run
for a few minutes. During the
draining process, air may have
entered the fuel system. If the
engine stalls, the fuel system
may need to be primed. See
“Fuel Priming” following.
Fuel Priming
For the fuel system to work properly,
air cannot be in the fuel lines. If air
gets in, the engine may not start
and the fuel lines will need to be
primed before operating the vehicle.
If air is present, the following may
have happened:
.
The vehicle ran out of fuel.
.
The fuel filter was removed.
.
The fuel lines were removed or
disconnected.
.
The fuel filter water drain valve
was opened while the engine
was running.
To prime the fuel system:
1. With the engine off, press and
hold ENGINE START/STOP
without applying the brake for
five seconds to place the
vehicle in Service Mode. Wait
for 30 seconds to allow fuel to
fully cycle. Press ENGINE
START/STOP again to turn it
off. Do this step three times or
more while the engine is off.
2. Press ENGINE START/STOP
with the brake applied for a
maximum of 40 seconds at a
time, with five seconds
between ignition attempts, until
the engine starts. If the engine
tries to run, but does not run
smoothly, increase the RPMs
slightly by using the accelerator
pedal. This will help force air
through the system.
3. Repeat Step 2 if the engine
stalls and will not restart.
4. After a few attempts, if the
engine still does not start, see
your dealer.
Running Out of Fuel
(Diesel)
{
Warning
Diesel fuel is flammable. It could
start a fire if something ignites it,
and people could be burned. Do
not let it get on hot engine parts,
and keep matches or other
ignition sources away.
If the engine has stalled due to
running out of fuel, add at least
7.6 L (2 gal) of fuel if parked on a
level surface, or up to 18.9 L (5 gal)
of fuel if parked on a slope, and
perform the procedure under “Fuel
Priming” previously in this section.
