You may occasionally hear and/or feel a slight
thump occurring one or two seconds after a
gentle stop. This is normal and generally occurs
with the fuel tank 3/4 full. It is caused by the
wave action of the fuel within the tank.

Running Out of Fuel
*
[MC37060(ALL)01/96]
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, try to stop on
level ground away from traffic. Add at least two
gallons (8 liters) of fuel to start your vehicle
again. If your vehicle is not on level ground,
you may need as much as five gallons (20 liters)
of fuel to start it.
*
[MC37070(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
modern powertrain components.
