If your vehicle runs out of fuel:
• Normally, adding 1.3 gal (5 L) of fuel is
enough to restart the engine. If your
vehicle is on a steep grade, more fuel
may be required.
• 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.
Filling a Portable Fuel Container
WARNING: Flow of fuel through a
fuel pump nozzle can produce static
electricity. This can cause a fire if you are
filling an ungrounded fuel container.
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up, which can
produce a spark, when filling an
ungrounded fuel container:
• Only use an approved fuel container to
transfer fuel to your vehicle. Place the
container on the ground when filling.
• Do not fill a fuel container while it is
inside your vehicle (including the cargo
area).
• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
with the fuel container while filling.
• Do not use a device that holds the fuel
pump nozzle lever in the fill position.
REFUELING
WARNING: Fuel vapor burns
violently and a fuel fire can cause severe
injuries.
WARNING: Read and follow all the
instructions on the pump island.
WARNING: Turn off your engine
when you are refueling.
WARNING: Do not smoke if you are
near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
WARNING: Keep sparks, flames and
smoking materials away from fuel.
WARNING: Stay outside your vehicle
and do not leave the fuel pump
unattended when refueling your vehicle.
This is against the law in some places.
WARNING: Keep children away from
the fuel pump; never let children pump
fuel.
WARNING: Do not use personal
electronic devices while refueling.
WARNING: Wait at least 10 seconds
before removing the fuel pump nozzle to
allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank.
WARNING: Stop refueling after the
fuel pump nozzle automatically shuts off
for the second time. Failure to follow this
will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank
and could lead to fuel overflowing.
WARNING: Do not remove the fuel
pump nozzle from its fully inserted position
when refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid
electrostatic charge build-up when filling
an ungrounded fuel container:
• Place approved fuel container on the
ground.
• Do not fill a fuel container while it is in
the vehicle (including the cargo area).
