Fuel and Refueling

6. Fully insert a fuel pump nozzle or the fuel filler funnel provided with your vehicle into the fuel filler inlet. This action should dislodge any debris that may be preventing the fuel filler inlet from fully closing. 7. Fully close the fuel filler door. Note: If this action corrects the problem the message may not immediately reset. If the message remains and a warning lamp illuminates, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. FUEL CONSUMPTION The advertised capacity is the maximum amount of fuel that you can add to the fuel tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty. In addition, the fuel tank contains an empty reserve. The empty reserve is an unspecified amount of fuel that remains in the fuel tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty. Note: The amount of fuel in the empty reserve varies and should not be relied upon to increase driving range. 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. • Use the same fill rate (low-medium-high) each time the tank is filled. • Allow no more than one automatic shut-off when refueling. Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.
