STARTING AND OPERATING
REFUELING THE VEHICLE — DIESEL ENGINE

The capless system is sealed by two flapper
doors.
1. Put the vehicle in PARK and switch the
ignition off.
2. Open the fuel filler door.
Diesel Fuel And Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill Location
1 — Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Fill Location
2 — Diesel Fuel Fill Location
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe
– the nozzle opens and holds the flapper
door while refueling.
4. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel
nozzle "clicks" or shuts off, the fuel tank is
full.
5. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel
door.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open
or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and federal
fire regulations and may cause the
"Malfunction Indicator Light" to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a
vehicle. You could be burned. Always place
fuel containers on the ground while filling.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
"top off" the fuel tank after filling.

cause severe damage to the engine fuel
system. Proper maintenance of the engine fuel

TORAGE
If you store quantities of fuel, good
maintenance of the stored fuel is also essential.
Fuel contaminated with water will promote the
growth of "microbes." These microbes form
"slime" that will clog the fuel filtration system
and lines. Drain condensation from the supply
tank and change the line filter on a regular
basis.
NOTE:
When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of
fuel, air is pulled into the fuel system.
If the vehicle will not start Ú page 414.
WARNING!
Do not open the high pressure fuel system
with the engine running. Engine operation
causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel
spray can cause serious injury or death.
