Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode

Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for
extended periods of time without running the
gas engine, the fuel within the vehicle's fuel
tank can become stale or the engine oil's
lubricating properties can be reduced. To
prevent engine and/or fuel system damage
due to stale fuel, as well as, maintaining
internal engine lubrication, this vehicle is
equipped with a "Fuel and Oil Refresh
Mode".
The vehicle will automatically enter into the
Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode to minimize
potential for stale fuel, and to ensure lubrica-
tion of internal engine components. When
operating in this mode, the gas engine will
run to provide vehicle propulsion (electric
only operation is inhibited). A message will
be displayed in the instrument cluster when-
ever Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is active.
The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel
and Oil Refresh Mode when conditions have
been satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel and
Oil Refresh Mode, due to fuel which has been
in the fuel tank for a long period of time
(becoming stale fuel), the engine will run
whenever the vehicle is operational (no elec-
tric only operation) until the low fuel level
warning is activated. It is also possible to exit
the Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode sooner by
adding a minimum of four gallons of new fuel
to the vehicle's fuel tank.
